You play the game to win things, and if you asked me whether I would want to finish in the top four or win the FA Cup, it'd be FA Cup every time.
Nobody likes to lose 3-0.
No one has said, 'What are you doing still playing?' Everyone said, 'Play as long as possible.' You stop when you stop enjoying it, and I'll know when I've had enough and can't keep up with the boys.
It's a fantastic life I've been living - let's keep it going.
When somebody tells you they don't think you're good enough here, your face doesn't fit, you don't just roll over; you've got to back yourself.
David Silva at Man City was my favourite player to play with; we had a good understanding on the pitch.
I have had four great years at Everton. The fans have been brilliant with me from the day I signed until the day I left. I am proud that the club will always be a big part of my career.
I've got massive respect for Arsene Wenger for what he's done for the English game, and it would have been good to work under him, but that didn't happen.
I'm delighted to be joining City. It didn't take much persuasion from Mark Hughes; they are heading in the direction I want to go. There is great potential here.
Anything you're not in control of you can't be that comfortable with.
I'm not one to plan, but I'm always positive about things.
You learn from being out of the team, but it makes you desperate for another chance, and when it comes along, you just have to grab it. Don't let go.
After Euro 2008, football in England was shattered for a bit, and people were losing interest in following England.
It has felt like the World Cup was never going to come for me.
I have a massive fear of going stale and falling into a comfort zone.
I feel at Manchester City I will get the chance to play regularly in my best position and play a big part in a successful side.
Sometimes you want to experience life, but ultimately, you've got to make sacrifices and choose the right road.
I was 32 when I signed for Everton, and Roberto Martinez said, 'With your style of game, you can play until you're 40.' I'm sitting there laughing at him, but he was deadly serious. I still laughed.
When somebody mentioned yoga for the first time, I just looked at it and thought, 'This isn't for me; it's for an older woman down at the health club trying to get supple.' But I thought, 'No, I can see the benefits there. I've got to embrace it.'
One of my strengths is focusing on football, and even in the summer, I try not to switch off too much.
