My private life is perfect. If your private life and your life outside football is good, then it is good on the field for you.

I've always come back from adversity, and I've always had the mentality of proving people wrong.

It's my responsibility to walk around the hotel with a big smile on my face and not worry about what's happened in the last game.

The secret to my success is practice!

Paul Scholes was always unbelievably talented. Quiet. And dirty. When he got his tackle right, it was a great tackle. But when he got it wrong, he could kill someone. He was so talented and a player I feel honoured to have played with.

I always wanted to be a hairdresser.

As soon as a free kick is given and it's anywhere near the box, I get excited. I don't really concentrate what side the keeper is on, because I always think that if I catch it as well as I can, then I can beat him whichever way he goes.
