The Premier League is very difficult football and very different to when you play in Europe, but the player has to have experience to adapt, and this is the key point.

When I retire, the only thing that concerns me is that no one can say that I was a bad team-mate or disrespectful or self-important.

It's not easy to come somewhere new and have to find your place. You might feel someone doesn't like you, or you might need to find new friends. It's not easy, and I don't like this kind of thing. It's not easy, so you want to protect the players who are alone.

You have to know what club you are playing for, or you just play for yourself. Every time I put on a Liverpool shirt, I know it is more than just a football game.

Living in Brooklyn it's a very fend-for-yourself place. Maybe it's made me a little bit harsh but I don't consider that to be pejorative.

I like changing my hairstyle, much to my mother's annoyance. It depends on my state of mind.

My head is in Liverpool and on helping save our season. I am professional and I always fulfil my deals. I haven't considered leaving, although in football that depends on the club.
