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

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.

My mother keeps things in perspective for me. She makes me realize that the acting I do and love is no more important than what one of my brothers does-he works in a shoe repair shop. If my career ever tapers off, I'll go to college.

An unexpected benefit of my career in biochemistry has been travel.

I'm sure once my career's over, when I look back when I'm older, I can maybe appreciate it a little bit more.

In Hungary, acting is a career for which one fits himself as earnestly as one studies for a degree in medicine, law, or philosophy.

I have been driven demented in my career.

The blues is something separate from what I do. They connect at certain spots, but blues is different. I wouldn't put it in with what my career has been. That would be a whole separate wing.

I wanted to be an actress. In college I was a serious feminist and very political. I was determined to get one thing out of my career and that was respect. I didn't want money. I didn't care about fame.

It could be my downfall, but I don't think it is - Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it's suicide.

Those who joined us for selfish personal reasons, for a career or other motives will be the ones to leave.

Warren Beatty took an interest in my career at one point.

I knew an actor's career goes up and down and back up again. Your standing in this business can't be your whole identity; otherwise, you're doomed.
