I have always preferred to keep things to myself rather than sharing them with anyone, but I am learning that if you let it go, you feel better for it. Don't keep it all bottled up inside; don't take it all on alone.
I want to change the bad boy image that has stuck for a bit because I don't think I am at all how I have been portrayed. I would like that to change because it's awful to hear and read what is said of you.
My wife says that if people reach conclusions as to what I am like based on what they see from me on the pitch they would say I am a guy who is always annoyed, always in a bad mood, they'd say what must it be like to live with me. There are two of me, two different people.
I've scored many goals that I've liked, but I think the best memory I have is the one against Korea in the 2010 World Cup.
At clubs like Liverpool, great players come and go.
I think Liverpool have a long history with many great players. I hope one day to be up there with those great players. I'll try my best to write some history here.

It is always a bit hypocritical when a defender who spends the whole game kicking you complains of being kicked.
I wanted my children to be able to see me play at the World Cup.

Injuries are not only a physical question, which is the most important thing, of course, but also a question of your mind. If you're thinking: 'I'm not going to make it', 'I can't cope', 'it hurts', 'it's never going to get better', then it won't.
If you don't speak Spanish, then don't accuse me of insulting you in that language, let alone insulting you ten times.
My parents separated when I was nine, but my father was always around, and he still follows me now. He is always sending me messages.
Every forward is selfish, and any forward who tells you he is not selfish is a liar.
'Negro' can refer to anyone with dark hair as well as dark skin, and I've been used to the word being used in Spanish in this way all my life.
People ask, 'How can you let a defeat hurt you so much?' But it comes back to the effort you have put into your career as a youngster.
Every player would love to get to the absolute top, and Real Madrid is it.
If you score 20 goals one season, then you have to promise yourself that in the following season you will get 25.
Every soccer player can be on the edge, at the limit, be the bad guy. We have to get used to it. Sometimes I am one of those.
On the field, sometimes passion overwhelms you, and you do things you regret afterward.
