I know I'm 25 now, but there's still that little lad inside me who likes his dad there to see him.
My dad knows the business, and he tells me I've got to do what's best for me.
I suppose it hacks me off sometimes when people go on about all the other stuff, because I have really worked hard at my game, and I've been incredibly dedicated in getting myself fit, and getting my game right.
Sometimes, you just get a label and it sticks.
People have always thought of me as a passer of the ball, but you can't just be that these days.
You've got to do it all, the physical as well as the skilful.
As I say, you get labelled. To stop all that, I've got to win things - that's the only way you make your mark.
I've been at Liverpool for eight years, and the time has come for us to start achieving.
I'm enjoying myself this year and for once I'm not chasing my fitness.
It's not enough just being a good passer of the ball.
Although my dad Harry is the manager of West Ham, we get on very well.
I've had two or three injuries when with England and it's been a bit bizarre.
People ask me why I keep getting injured but I have just had to accept it is one of those things that happen.
There is pressure every day as a footballer.
The way I am, I like to look forward instead of looking back.
But I've never once thought that I wouldn't get back, as if you do think like that, then you're in trouble.
