I know my body well. I know the right foods to eat.
I've always loved representing my country, and it's something I've missed.
I want to go to the World Cup and enjoy it.
Nothing goes through your head when you're playing except who you are playing against and what you can do to affect the game.
If I'm on the bench in a Premier League game, I'm thinking, 'What can I do coming off the bench?'
If you don't believe in yourself, then who is going to believe in you?
With Arsenal, I've been playing out wide, which is not me.
I like to play anywhere in the middle.
Lionel Messi is on a different planet to anyone.
Being injured, coming back, playing a few games, trying to get your fitness back, getting injured again - you don't get a chance to prove what you can do.
Sometimes it's been difficult to stay positive, especially after the injuries that I've had, which have been frustrating.
If you look at the top midfielders in the past for England, like Lampard, Gerrard, and Scholes, they were always on the scoresheet.
Sometimes when people play for their country, I think there is that little bit of fear and pressure.
Sometimes you have to shield, and sometimes you have to press.
I definitely wouldn't go somewhere just because I'm a homegrown player. I'd want to be wanted by a club.
I want to be wanted by Arsenal. I've grown up at Arsenal. I'm a homegrown player, and as long as Arsenal want me, then I'm happy.
It doesn't 'hurt' me, hearing criticism from ex-players. It probably disappoints me a little bit more.
Now I've learned to enjoy my football while I can. Every time I'm on the pitch, I just enjoy it.
I realise things aren't going to go my way every week. Of course they're not. But the main thing is to give your all and enjoy.
I'd say I was an attacking midfielder, and if you are going to be one of the best, you have to score goals and create them.
