A lot of people judge others too quickly without actually knowing the full facts or the actual real person.
I wake up every morning new, free as a bird.
I watch football sometimes at home, but in my downtime, I play pool with my friends. Darts - I enjoy darts now, and when there is a game not coming up, I enjoy playing golf as well. I'm not very good at golf, but I enjoy being able to relax.
I have been able to fulfil nearly all my ambitions at Chelsea. I have won the Champions League, the League, I have won FA Cups here, but you don't want to stop winning trophies, and being at a big club, you are always fighting to win a trophy.
I don't do things to try and get publicity or anything like that.
As players, you never make one trophy a priority.
I have been lucky to win trophies. That is my aim.
When I used to see things in the newspapers, going onto the pitch was the best way to get away from it.
A good coach is good in the management of his men; he gives all of his players the desire to fight until the last.
At the end of the day, I'm human. I'm English - I was born here. Of course I'm a different colour from you, but I'm still human. The main thing is, I'm human - like everyone else. Because I'm a different colour doesn't mean there is a difference.
I'm definitely playing the best football of my time at Chelsea.
As players, whenever the manager gets the sack, you have to look in the mirror and say it's not always the manager. It's down to the players.
I could look back and say I've had a good career.
Of course I'm a winner. I always want to win.
When you're growing up and thinking about being a footballer, you want to make as many caps and play as many games as you can.
To win the Premier League proves you are a top team.
No players want to hear their own fans booing the players, booing the team, but football is a hard game, and you can't win everything.
I don't really like seeing myself on TV doing interviews.
English players are probably scared to come abroad. They are in a comfort zone in England: that's where we grew up; that's where we played in youth teams.
I'm a normal person. I'm just like you and just like everyone else - I have feelings and thoughts.
