I've enjoyed every minute of travelling and playing for my country. What an honour that is.

I admit I was somewhat concerned when we started to sign so many players - naturally you are going to worry about whether you can retain your place in the side.

I'm happy here, and why change when you love the club and the club's in a really good position right now.

I think as far as kids go, you just have to work hard. Work on your skills, keep focused.

I've always been a city person - London boy - and New York is just incredible. It has what London has but almost more in terms of variety, culture, social life, everything. I just like walking the streets and feeling the energy and the vibe.

I remember being in West Ham's youth team and seeing Jody Morris play for Chelsea at 17 and you scoring for Liverpool on your debut when you were 18. I was watching it on Soccer Saturday and I was like, "I can't believe he's scored!" It's professional jealousy. It's best to be honest about it. It gave me real desire. I was thinking "God I want that to be me".

I'm like everyone else: I want to play every game, but it's not possible.
