Liverpool are not used to playing a 16-and-a-half stone striker.
As a footballer I know what I'm good at and I've now embraced it.
My career and my stats, they all speak for itself so to say that I've got anything to prove to people, to say 'well, look, I can play, I'm not just a big guy,' that really is not my driving force in life.
John Barnes was my idol growing up and he's the reason I've supported Liverpool. I play nothing like him, though!
That's one reason fans take to me. They like the battle side of it. They look at me and think this guy shouldn't be on the pitch, he's just bulldozing his way through.
Sometimes it's nice to be a bit different.
My arms are probably the same size as John Terry's legs.
I was always a big guy. You see my family - my brothers are the same size.
When you've only got two days between games the recovery process is key.
Like individuals in all walks of life, footballers want stability and we have families to look after.
In my younger days, sometimes family and personal life came second to my ambition.
I'm a big believer in not getting too high when you are winning and not getting too low when things aren't going well.
Playing on Sky Sports doesn't really make a difference to me.
You see it all the time, in all divisions, that teams raise themselves and apply themselves that little bit more when they play a 'bigger team.'
As I've said before, I'm a big fan of social media because it allows players and fans to interactive but it can have its pitfalls.
As players we have to be careful what we put out there and make sure everything we do is appropriate. And it is not always easy.
To have the support of your team-mates is massive.
I think if you score lots of goals but nobody likes you as a person then it stands for nothing.
When I look back at my career it is nice to know that I've been appreciated on and off the pitch because not everyone is.
Obviously you know match-fixing is out there but you don't really associate it with the English game.
