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

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.

Natural resources are so vast that no single individual or business is going to protect them; they don't have an incentive to.

The bronze powder business, however, no longer required my personal attention, and was well managed by those I had chosen as the guardians of a secret, which was long and honourably kept.

I have done things politically, and I've been running a business at the same time, but I sort of joke that to some extent I do more than most legislators have done in their whole careers, and I've been doing it as a part-time job.

Howard Hughes himself was a regular at the restaurant, and in a way it became his headquarters, too. Howard had recently relocated to Las Vegas, so when he wanted to do business in Los Angeles, he went into the back of our restaurant to use the telephone.

Prosperous farmers mean more employment, more prosperity for the workers and the business men of every industrial area in the whole country.

My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.

We mean by "politics" the people's business - the most important business there is.

Slovakia's joining the OECD in 1999 is totally dependent on meeting economic reforms required such as transparency and legislation that permits fair and open conduct of trade and business.

The way the business things work in Russia is you have to meet people, you have to go through a certain amount of etiquette and business things are done just simply by a shake of the hand and whether they like you or not.

I make no claim to being a business genius. You can make so much money in this business that it loses its value.

It costs a great deal of money to do a musical, and the more money involved, the more big business influences the artform.
