You want to win things and I am at a club where we have the players to do that.
You can't just play on the edge of games - you have to be in the thick of it.
There is pressure every day as a footballer.
You have to be professional and think about the future.
People always seem to be interested in my private life because I'm married to a pop star.
I've had two or three injuries when with England and it's been a bit bizarre.
I'm looking out for myself, but I'm looking out for my dad, too.
I never got to the point when I felt like running away from it all.
I know I'm 25 now, but there's still that little lad inside me who likes his dad there to see him.

I am a positive person and do not allow things to get on top of me.
You've got to do it all, the physical as well as the skilful.
You have to be physical - that's the way it is in a midfield in the modern game.
I'm enjoying myself this year and for once I'm not chasing my fitness.
