I work out with my trainer or do an hour of pilates at 6 or 7AM. I'm done by the time my household is awake.
Collectively with my design team we spent time working on the feel, fit and style to ensure the product is not only something I would wear but one which I would be proud to put my name to. I always want to challenge myself and this was such a rewarding experience for me. I'm very happy with the end result and I hope H&M's male customers will be as excited as I am.
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.
Two of my boys are Manchester United fans; one is an Arsenal fan. Whenever there is a game I can take the boys to, I love taking them.
Is the Pope Catholic. No I'm serious. I really need to know.
I'll never forget where I'm from, never forget my roots. It doesn't matter where I live. I'm English, simple as that.
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.
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.
Some people think that I haven't got the brains to be that clever.
There is always scope for football to be more charitable but a lot happens already. Personally I have always been passionate about charity.
Keeping fit is really important as playing football is all I've ever wanted to do.
Like any parent, I just want the best for my kids, whatever they decide to do. They will choose what path they want to follow, and we will always be there to encourage them.
People in Hong Kong are stylish and fashionable, which is one of the many reasons making Hong Kong itself such an energetic place.
It is so great that fashion is not a question of price, and it can be more accessible to everyone interested in fashion.
