It bothers me when I don't score.

For me there's nothing better than putting the white shirt on for England and playing for England. I'd get worried if it wasn't like that.

I loved [Real Madrid]. It was a real experience, playing with a great team. One of the first questions I'm often asked is 'What was Madrid like?' It's got that mystique about it. It's a magical place and a magical team, and everything about it is great.

I have never thought of a scenario where international football was not a massive part of our [England] game.

I don't want to be modelling G-strings. It's not that good for my image – I'm a footballer not a tart

You are affected by the surroundings, the mood of people, by confidence. I am no different.

I don't particularly enjoy watching international football in the way that I used to. It hurts me to say that, but it's true.
