I hate talking about football. I just do it, you know?

Anyone who doesn't learn from Ian Rush needs shooting.

A goal is a goal no matter which end it goes in. I'm pleased to get off the mark again.

The money I try and earn is for my family. It's not for me. It's always about my family.

I don't want people losing respect for me as a player. I want to go out in every game and perform to the highest level. I have no retirement plans. I've had a lot of injuries but I want to continue playing.

I sometimes think I've needed a bit of an arm around me in my career - which I've not always got from certain managers and coaches who didn't understand me.

I used to hate Ian Rush when I was young, because I was a devout Evertonian in those days, and he seemed to score every time Liverpool played against us. It's strange to think he used to support Everton too when he was a kid. He was brilliant to me at Anfield always giving me good advice.
