football home second-chance
I signed schoolboy forms for Watford when I was 12, but then my parents got divorced, and I never kicked a ball for three years. I rebelled, I left home, but getting back into football sorted me out. It was the second chance I needed.
degradation levels lots-of-money
I was offered 'I'm A Celebrity...' for a lot of money, but I don't like the level of degradation.
cowboy fans wayne
John Wayne never ever disappointed his fans, because he was a cowboy.
kings singing santa
There are a few YouTube clips of me singing at The King's Head in Santa Monica, so you can see how bad I am.
holiday years fishing
I'm lucky in that I travel a lot for work. I also manage several holidays a year. I'm not someone who sits in the sun or goes sightseeing, though. If I go away, it will be for fishing or something like that.
brother people shouting
After 'Big Brother,' people came up to me in the street shouting, 'You woz robbed!'
drama real independent
I do my independent stuff where it's real acting if you like. Intense, drama stuff. I love me actions.
stars kids play
There's good action stars. I'm a bad-guy action star. What disappoints me is when you all of a sudden you get a good action star and then he wants to play a comedy with kids, you know? That upsets me, and that's not being true to your fans.
parent splits things-change
My parents split when I was 13. For a youngster, it's quite devastating. One minute you're all happy families, then everything changes.
football captains clubs
I was captain of Wales; I've been captain of numerous football clubs.
names people want
People say, 'I love 'Snatch,' I love 'Lock Stock,'' but I want to be more than a movie name. I'd love to be more of a household name.
britain people positive race wish
Americans don't care what your language is, your race is, whatever. Everyone is there to do their own thing and be successful. I wish people in Britain would be more positive.
household love people
People say, 'I love 'Snatch,' I love 'Lock Stock,' but I want to be more than a movie name. I'd love to be more of a household name.
felt gave nobody people played
I've always felt that people put me down, and I'd fight back. I played football 15 years, and nobody gave me any credit, and they never will do.
