I'm a very stubborn person. I think it has helped me over my career. I'm sure it has hindered me at times as well, but not too many times. I know that if I set my mind to do something, even if people are saying I can't do it, I will achieve it.
I respect all religions, but I'm not a deeply religious person. But I try and live life in the right way, respecting other people. I wasn't brought up in a religious way, but I believe there's something out there that looks after you.
I don't have time for hobbies. At the end of the day, I treat my job as a hobby. It's something I love doing.
I'll never forget where I'm from, never forget my roots. It doesn't matter where I live. I'm English, simple as that.
Nothing amazes me anymore.
I never do anything half-heartedly. I will continue to work hard and play hard and do everything I can to be successful, whatever I do.
In my career, there's many things I've won and many things I've achieved, but for me, my greatest achievement is my children and my family. It's about being a good father, a good husband, just being connected to family as much as possible.
I still look at myself and want to improve.
There are certain battles that you pick. When they're not worth picking, they're laughable stories.
I always wanted to be a hairdresser.
People react to criticism in different ways, and my way is definitely to come out fighting.
Every situation has changed me as a person.
As a footballer, you always want to test yourself against the best.
My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about 7.
I think the most important goal I scored in Spain was the first one because people were wary about me coming over to Spain as a player - they thought I was just there to sell shirts.
That was my way of getting through difficult times of low confidence - hard work.
The spotlight will always be on me, but it's something I'm learning to live with as the years go by.
I just want people to see me as a hard-working footballer and someone who is passionate about the game.
People look at my tattoos, and the majority of them are religious images, so people think, 'Oh, he must be very religious'. I respect all religions, but I'm not a deeply religious person. But I try and live life in the right way, respecting other people.
I'm a strong person, I'm a strong family man, I'm a strong husband and a strong father.
