I enjoy spending time at home or going out for a quiet meal in a restaurant.

As I say, you get labelled. To stop all that, I've got to win things - that's the only way you make your mark.

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

I've been at Liverpool for eight years, and the time has come for us to start achieving.

There is pressure every day as a footballer.

I'm enjoying myself this year and for once I'm not chasing my fitness.

I'm a footballer, that's my job and that's all I want to be known for.

But I just want to be known for my football.

The way I am, I like to look forward instead of looking back.

From a personal point of view I want some medals because that is what you aim for when you start out playing.

People ask me why I keep getting injured but I have just had to accept it is one of those things that happen.

My dad knows the business, and he tells me I've got to do what's best for me.

Once Liverpool had asked me to sign again, there was no hesitation.

Sometimes, you just get a label and it sticks.

I'm looking out for myself, but I'm looking out for my dad, too.

But what goes on in my life outside of the game should be my business.

People have always thought of me as a passer of the ball, but you can't just be that these days.

Although my dad Harry is the manager of West Ham, we get on very well.

I've had two or three injuries when with England and it's been a bit bizarre.

I have always passed the ball and worked on that part of my game.

I suppose it hacks me off sometimes when people go on about all the other stuff, because I have really worked hard at my game, and I've been incredibly dedicated in getting myself fit, and getting my game right.

In the past I've had a bad injury, and then struggled when I've got back because I've been unfit.

We need to win something for the fans because they have been patient and very understanding and we owe them.

I enjoy spending time at home or going out for a quiet meal in a restaurant.

It's not enough just being a good passer of the ball.

At no point was my career under threat, so I always knew that I would get back into action.

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.

But I've never once thought that I wouldn't get back, as if you do think like that, then you're in trouble.

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.

People always seem to be interested in my private life because I'm married to a pop star.

It's important we win and because of the players we have we should win some matches in style.

But there's no point in looking back and saying I was unlucky.

You have to be professional and think about the future.

You can't play when you're not 100% fit especially at this level.

I haven't achieved as much as I should have done in my career.

The ball was coming down like a butterfly with sore feet.

It is too maddening. I've got to fly off, right now, to some devilish navy yard, three hours in a seasick steamer, and after being heartily sick, I'll have to speak three times, and then I'll be sick coming home. Still, who would not be sick for England?

Sitting at home the way I do, I'd just love the hear from people. It'd be a great help in passing the time.

Most fathers don't see the war within the daughter, her struggles with conflicting images of the idealized and flawed father, her temptation both to retreat to Daddy's lap and protection and to push out of his embrace to that of beau and the world beyond home.

I was stuck at home in bed with me and got more and more involved with the Internet. I used it to keep in contact with friends and to make sure I was up to date with everything that was going on in the world.

I'm going to buy some green bananas because by the time I get home they'll be ripe.

Removing substantial fuel loads from our forests helps prevent catastrophic fire and better protects species, watersheds and neighboring communities that call them home.

I'm looking forward to providing the men of Seattle with an evening where they can kick back, light up a cigar and enjoy a night to themselves. Women, we can't technically keep you out, but please stay at home.

I listen to the phone-ins on the way home and I know how the fans feel.

I'm a 7 o'clock act. My people want to go to a show, a dinner and then go home and go to bed.

The average husband enjoys the total effect of his home but is usually unable to contribute any of the details of work and organisation that make it enjoyable.

To my mind, the most important aspect of the Nobel Awards is that they bring home to the masses of the peoples of all nations, a realization of their common interests. They carry to those who have no direct contact with science the international spirit.
