Unlike others who have been caught swearing on camera, I apologised immediately. And yet I am the only person banned for swearing. That doesn’t seem right.
If I’m staying in a hotel or I’m sleeping on my own I have the hairdryer on.
I listen to 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Stereophonics, Arctic Monkeys; also the musical Oliver – I can sing every tune.
I am as passionate about the England team as anyone.
I’m only a human being.
If you look at my bookings, they’ve gone down each season. That’s something I’m trying to keep improving. On the pitch you don’t want any silly bookings.
I train as hard as I can every time I train and I do extra training every day and I’ve done that since I was a young boy.
If we’re on long-haul flights I’ve been known to sleep on the floor so I hear the engine.
Nice to see your own fans booing you.
I am not the first player to have sworn on TV and I won’t be the last.
I love playing football but I am like everyone else, I hate losing and love winning.
I’m proud I’m English and I’m passionate about my country.
Growing up, watching the Premier League as far back as I can remember, feeling the trophy and having the medal around my neck was an unbelievable feeling.
I grew up an Everton fan, my whole family are Everton fans and I grew up hating Liverpool. And that hasn’t changed.
Those who said I’m not an out-and-out goal-scorer are probably right. I always feel I could score more.
If you don’t score, and you have chances, you are disappointed.
Don’t call me a Postmodern!
I’ve started doing my coaching badges, I’d like to be a manager one day.
Early on in my career I had a lot of bad press about my temperament, but I was only a young lad then.
Pulling on your country’s shirt is the greatest honour a footballer can have. It’s what I always dreamed of as a kid and I get a buzz every time.
