moving thinking speaking-up
I guess just personally I've become a bolder person in my day-to-day. I think a lot of it came from moving to Brooklyn. I just sort of became an adult and started speaking up for myself and not apologising for myself.
player want might
It's not easy to come somewhere new and have to find your place. You might feel someone doesn't like you, or you might need to find new friends. It's not easy, and I don't like this kind of thing. It's not easy, so you want to protect the players who are alone.
littles brooklyn harsh
Living in Brooklyn it's a very fend-for-yourself place. Maybe it's made me a little bit harsh but I don't consider that to be pejorative.
nice people
When I get to connect with people, I'm not in my head anymore and I like that, that's nice.
football son cities
My son is a Liverpool fan, and he was already kicking a ball before he was one. He was born in the football city, he had no choice.
writing different process
The live show allows me to transcend myself, because it's not about me anymore. The writing process is very much about me but then the live show is not. They feel really different.
want fans joining
I want to say thanks to the Chelsea fans because I have seen them very, very happy with me for joining Chelsea.
soccer football holiday
Sometimes I'd like to have a conversation with a friend in a restaurant without feeling I'm being watched. At this rate I will have to go on holiday to Greenland. But maybe the Eskimos would know me.
football games play
You have to know what club you are playing for, or you just play for yourself. Every time I put on a Liverpool shirt, I know it is more than just a football game.
kings team fall
At Liverpool, I had almost everything but titles. I felt like a king, but the team was falling apart.
ambition play champions-league
The Champions League is a big ambition, and all the footballers want to play in it, it is a very important competition.
moving cities people
Madrid is not as big as London, but it is true when you are coming from a big city like Madrid, nothing is going to surprise you, and I am very happy to move to a city like London. It is a big city, and you can do everything you want with the respect that the English people always have.
football player europe
The Premier League is very difficult football and very different to when you play in Europe, but the player has to have experience to adapt, and this is the key point.
football leaving clubs
My head is in Liverpool and on helping save our season. I am professional and I always fulfil my deals. I haven't considered leaving, although in football that depends on the club.
