I have always found it an honor that people have wanted to buy my shirt and an honor that fans turn up to watch the team I am playing in. I have always found that a huge honor.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
-
I'm a very stubborn person. I think it has helped me over my career. I'm sure it has hindered me at times as well, but not too many times. I know that if I set my mind to do something, even if people are saying I can't do it, I will achieve it.

Football's the biggest game in the world. America's the greatest sporting nation there is. To play some part in putting those two things together: why wouldn't I be excited about that?
-
I always say that practice gets you to the top most of the time.
-
People just assume, over the years, that soccer players are not too intelligent. As with most assumptions, they're wrong.

You start realising as you get older that there are some kids who don't know who you are.

It's so important to have manners and treat people from all walks of life the way they should be treated.

My private life is perfect. If your private life and your life outside football is good, then it is good on the field for you.

When you have kids you do grow up. I have just started realising it now-it changes the world, having children.

I don't regret anything, but that doesn't mean that I don't look back and think, 'What was I thinking?'
-
I never do anything half-heartedly. I will continue to work hard and play hard and do everything I can to be successful, whatever I do.
-
I would never complain about the position I'm in or the attention I get. At the end of the day, I'm very lucky to have what I have and do what I do, but I don't see myself as any different from anyone else who works hard and is a dad and a husband.
-
I wasn't as fit as I would of liked to have been, going to the World Cup, but I'm not sure what difference that made.

I don't know whether it's the athlete in me or the passion I have for the game: I always think that I can step back on the field and play.

I don't have time for hobbies. At the end of the day, I treat my job as a hobby. It's something I love doing.

Always have something to look forward to.

I have got this obsessive compulsive disorder where I have to have everything in a straight line, or everything has to be in pairs.

I can't get through some movies without shedding a tear; I can't lie.

I've felt a little tired, but I'm only 24. I love playing football. That's my job and that's what I love doing.

Whatever I do, I want to be the best.

We stay as a team. I might be England captain, but that doesn't mean I get treated differently.
