I think I work harder on the pitch, I cover more ground and my passing is more accurate.

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".

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

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.

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

Nobody expects a footballer to have any kind of an IQ, which is a bit of an unfair stereotype.

Remember every team wants to beat Chelsea, probably even more than Manchester United or Arsenal because they believe we have an unfair advantage.
