I wouldn't change my life for the world at the moment.

I was born to score goals, I feel.

To be at the top, you have to have a competitive streak in you. If you're not performing, you've got to be angry with yourself.

There have been more things wrong with England than just Wayne Rooney in the last few years.

All Newcastle fans need to know is that I will be giving everything for their cause now.

I thought I would break the scoring record when I got to 40 goals by the age of 27 or 28, but then Fabio Capello took over and he never picked me again.

[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.
