I had a chance to go to Italy when I was younger and that would have been tough because of the language. America is easier but I really loved it.

I think about all my successes and failures and sometimes the failures stick in your head as much as the wins. But you do move on.

I am a man who likes to play consistently; I always play better when I'm on a run of games.

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.

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.

In international football, you need pace and you need your players up top to create things out of nothing and run at people.

If I could have been anyone in the world, it would have been Ronaldinho. He's fantastic, I love watching him.
