My arms are probably the same size as John Terry's legs.
I was always a big guy. You see my family - my brothers are the same size.
Everyone has got a perception of what a footballer is and, because I am a certain size, that I can only play one way - as a battering ram.
My size works against me as well, as some players I would just touch and they would fall over to get a free kick.
I've always been big, my brothers are my size, we come from good stock.
I was raised on an estate in an inner city school where people had a go about my size, people saying I am too big to play football - which still happens today - and I used that to inspire me.
When you hear Beast Mode, you automatically go to my size, but I always say the strongest thing I own is not my chest, my legs, not my arms. It's my mind. It's that mindset that says: Look, you're not always going to succeed but don't take it as a loss, take it as a lesson. That's the mindset of Beast Mode.
People are starting to go on about my weight but I'm not going to change my size because they don't like the way I look.
The focus on my appearance has really surprised me. I've always been a size 14 to 16, I don't care about clothes, I'd rather spend my money on cigarettes and booze.
You can tell the size of a man by the size of the thing that makes him mad.
