When I was at school, I wanted to be a lawyer.

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

I loved being in America. It was a great experience. People will be drawn to China because of the money but the lifestyle, everything about America, I couldn't recommend it enough.

There's so many kids out there and it's such a cut-throat world. I've seen a lot of my mates, you know, who are better players than me at a certain age, and they're not in football now.

I can't stress the importance of working hard enough, work on all aspects of your game. If you does that and you have the ability, you'll come through.

I'm not the kind of player to see out my time and sit with my bum on the bench too much. I want to be involved. That's my character.

Before my mother died, she told me not to leave Chelsea.
