Do you have the heart to push yourself? If you don't, find a way to get it because talent will only get you so far. You've got to be hungry. You've got to have heart. That's just reality.

When it's game situation, when it's game day, game time, when it's World Cup, when it's these tournaments that happen once every so often, I live for that, I live for that challenge.

Ive known since I went to the national team when I was very young that I was a different bird.

Do you have the heart to push yourself? If you don't, find a way to get it because talent will only get you so far. You've got to be hungry. You've got to have heart. That's just reality.

I couldnt change who I am; I couldnt change the kind of player I am.

To be the key player in creating and scoring goals, that's what I take pride in, and the thing I know how to do best.

Its not like you make a decision and everything inside you is 100 percent happy.
