You want to win things and I am at a club where we have the players to do that.

When you play a team with as much attacking power as Barcelona and you restrict them to one shot on target in the second leg, you are doing something right. Have the best football team gone through? Yes. Have the best organised team gone through? No.

There is pressure every day as a footballer.
People always seem to be interested in my private life because I'm married to a pop star.
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 have always passed the ball and worked on that part of my game.
I am a positive person and do not allow things to get on top of me.
Physically and mentally I'm stronger right now because an injury is not playing on my mind all the time.
Arsenal have been literally passed to death.
At no point was my career under threat, so I always knew that I would get back into action.
