I have a great family, good friends, a nice girlfriend, my own house. I have got everything how I want it to be.

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.

You're on your own out there with ten mates.

I think it's getting tougher and tougher, all the big teams are getting stronger and there's more of them.

An emotion that lives with me is a sense of what might have been had injuries not robbed me of my most lethal weapon - speed.

If you only ever give 90% in training then you will only ever give 90% when it matters.

Give me a great Champions League game or an exciting Premier League game ahead of an international match and I'd love that to reverse. A lot of people have lost interest in England games, it is quite hard to watch.
