When I came to Chelsea from West Ham there were certain parts of my game I felt I needed to improve and I like to think now that I have shown dramatic improvement.

Barcelona are my favourite team in Spain, let's put it that way...

I think as far as kids go, you just have to work hard. Work on your skills, keep focused.

Goals never come easy. No one gives you goals.

I can't stress the importance of working hard enough, work on all aspects of your game. If you does that and you have the ability, you'll come through.

I think about all my successes and failures and sometimes the failures stick in your head as much as the wins. But you do move on.

I am a man who likes to play consistently; I always play better when I'm on a run of games.

Success is not about how much money we have in the bank, but it's about how many peoples' lives we have impacted through it. Success is experienced when we do things which are never done before.

A healthy body isn't defined by weight or size. It's about so much more.

You know people are always putting Ulysses in the top 10 books ever written but I doubt that any of those people were really moved by it.

Renunciation is submission to time.
