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

Manchester United will always be a competitor, just because of the very size of them.

The longer my career has gone, the more I seem to score... It's experience and age and knowing where the ball's going to be.

[Wayne Rooney] has to be viewed as a great England striker if he breaks Sir Bobby Charlton's record. Scoring goals at international level is much more difficult than it was a few years back because even the lesser teams are well organised and don't concede too many goals these days.

My Dad was briefly an Everton player and I used to follow them as a boy.

Often the biggest test is when the chips are down and you've got to stick together as a team.

A lot of people have lost interest in watching England play. To get motivated to watch international football, you need your country to be having some form of success and England haven't had any for a long time now.
