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

Reading with my children is incredibly important to me and a wonderful way to spend time together as a family, exploring magical worlds through books and stories.

Reading and writing is so important, and it's something I am really keen to promote. It's something that can be a bit lost these days with so much else going on.

If I lose the ball, I lose it trying to do the right thing. That's the way it is.

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

My dad being a player. I was never that quick as a kid, so I had to get quicker. I trained hard. I was never that player who could roll out and relax, like Michael [ Owen] or Stevie [ Gerrard], who were natural.

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.
