Some players respond to shouting; some don't. Everyone is different, and that is one of a manager's strengths to understand that some don't respond to that.
I think the stereotype about footballers being badly dressed is unfair.
There is an expectation that if you do sport, any sport, you should never have a life outside that. People expect you to just train, play, train. But that's not me.
I loved drama class at school. I never took it seriously, as I was playing football. But maybe when I retire, I'll have a dabble.
Every man needs a good pair of jeans. It's the ultimate wardrobe staple because most of us wear them more than anything else.
As a footballer, you're stuck in a uniform - either in team kit or a team suit. I don't really get to show my personality in my job, so style is a chance to show people part of me they don't often see.
They wanted to play me central midfield when I was at Aston Villa, so that's why we left. Things were going good at Coventry, but then scouts from Manchester United and different clubs around England were watching me, and I don't think Coventry liked that.
People think I got loads of money at City and then left for Chelsea to chase more money. I didn't get that money. I moved to Chelsea because they made promises to me. They told me I would get opportunities, I would play and that they believed in me as a young player.
I watch all my goals before every game on the coach.
I watch stuff over five times. I'll watch the same person over five, 10 times.
I remember when I was at Chelsea, and Ancellotti used to say, 'Watch a DVD of Inzaghi' - movement in terms of runs in behind and what makes strikers score goals.
Inzaghi was one that I really liked to watch because he was completely different to how I played, but he gave me something I didn't have and actually helped me out a lot. Probably a lot of the goals I score now have come from him.
When you're on the inside, there's no other perspective but what you see on the inside. When you're on the outside, you get to look at things a little differently: how you can help, how you can fit in, how you can do certain things differently.
I feel like, in football, you always have to prove yourself as well. The past is in the past. Last season was last season.
I like to feel comfortable in what I'm wearing, so I do wear a lot of sportswear. Not football training stuff, but mostly casual tracksuits and T-shirts.
Grooming in football is quite big. I'm somebody that brings my Boss Bottled Unlimited to training or in my washbag, and I've put a few of my teammates onto that.
My job is to go on the pitch and put my best foot forward.
At Chelsea, there's more focus on team shape, a lot of work on tactics.
Football's no different from any other workplace. If you're not doing the job you think you're capable of, it's frustrating. And I'm aiming for the stars. I'm not content with being in the shadows.
Things have evolved, and footballers pay a lot more attention to how they dress and how they groom themselves because of social media. So they'll be on Instagram or Twitter, and I think it's one of those things - you're in the public eye more, probably, than playing football on television, and your lifestyle at home is broadcast.
