I'm a strong person, I'm a strong family man, I'm a strong husband and a strong father.

At the end of the day, I'm a footballer who has played at some of the biggest football clubs in the world and played with some of the best players in the world.

In Spain people have lunch and dinner a lot later - when I return to England I'll have to eat alone at midnight.

Every situation has changed me as a person.

I wasn't as fit as I would of liked to have been, going to the World Cup, but I'm not sure what difference that made.

I love scoring goals for England and playing for England. That's one of the reasons I didn't retire - I love playing for my country.

I am always going to have problems with the paparazzi. I have had two men outside my house for the last two years, which is frightening at times, but that is my life unfortunately.
