I was very hungry to succeed. It wasn't easy, but the football world can build you up, and you can sometimes go down. But when you have a good base, you don't have to worry. When you know you have qualities, then you know your hard work will bring you far.
Even for players younger than me, you never have to give up. When you believe in yourself, people can say what they want, but when you work hard and you have your head clear, then everything is possible.
When someone shows confidence in you, you want to reward it back.
It is always special to play Manchester United.
Things went so quickly from being a sub in Lille to scoring in the World Cup to signing for Liverpool, but I always had good advice from my parents and my religion to help keep me grounded.
I am the younger version of my father. I try to be as normal as I can.
I didn't have anything against Manchester United or any other team, and my dream was always to play in the Premier League one day, but my heart told me the best thing would be to stay at Lille.
You realise you have to be physically strong when you come to the Premier League because it is a very intensive league.
I only started playing top football when I was 17 and a half.
I just try to play my game, whatever role it is.
I am feeling comfortable at Liverpool, and I think that's important.
Obviously I have personal goals in my mind, but I put the team first.
I focus just on the important issues, and I know I can make a lot more progress.
I love fashion from all over the world, from Japan to London to Italy.
When I think about my late grandmother and how she used to talk to me, I become very emotional.
To be honest, I started playing for Belgium in the youth team stages. As a kid, Belgium was all I knew. We played football with my schoolmates as well as at the academy.
Kenya is a land of great people, and during the 2014 FIFA World Cup, I remember meeting some Kenyan fans at the hotel where we were staying. It felt nice to see people from back home cheering and supporting me. Some even approached me; we talked, and they took pictures.
