I always dedicate my goals to my mum. I lost her a couple of years ago. She was my biggest supporter and is always with me.

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

I loved reading Roald Dahl when I was young but I had forgotten a lot about the books. I read the 'BFG' on the iPad the other day and it was so interesting to see his descriptions of clothes and places.

I am certainly not the most talented player in the world; there's many a more talented player than me.

Footballers do get a hard time, and there is a lot of generalization going on. When you get to meet players and know them as lads, it's always a bit different.

When you take a lot of stick you want to ram it down people's throats.

I'm a very private person, and you have a lot of people looking into your personal life, away from football. That's the one thing that I don't like, but I always remember how lucky we are that we're playing football.
