Becoming a public figure gave me a platform to help people.

If I'm out shopping and someone talks to me, I get startled, as I'm not a natural celebrity.

When I bought out my first autobiography I received the biggest tax bill of my life.

I've had well-paid jobs, but in comparison to what footballers earn, I've not earned serious money.

I've always been very hopeful but I also know that as long as you've got a good work ethic, almost anything is achievable and I learned that in the armed forces.

I haven't stopped working hard since I was 15.

Recovery is a bit like an addiction; you take it day by day. If you set yourself too many goalposts, you'll have problems.
