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

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.

There is no executive order; there is no law that can require the American people to form a national community. This we must do as individuals and if we do it as individuals, there is no President of the United States who can veto that decision.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Many are needed to plant and water what has been planted now that the faith has spread so far and there are so many people... No matter who plants or waters, God gives no harvest unless what is planted is the faith of Peter and unless he agrees to his teachings.

DJs and people in the street know what they like.

People who keep stiff upper lips find that it's damn hard to smile.

Some people are directors and I think they should stay behind the camera.

We dominated Survivor - there is no way we would not dominate that, too. I can see it already, us making deals with people. That's the best part, and with the Race, it would be even more fun because I've got a lot of tricks up my sleeve.

I'm getting a wider circle of fans now. More women, more middle class people.

We must support initiatives that provide clear, concrete measures and milestones that our troops need for defeating the insurgency, building up Iraqi security forces, and handing over Iraq to the Iraqi people.

Yeah, that's what kind of, we get the idea a little bit yeah, because other people from different countries also try as hard as they can to get a medal or a gold medal in the Olympic Games. And you know, if they can work hard, we can work hard as well.

Well concerning the world records that I did, I think it helps a lot to me, yeah. I think it's a very individual thing because I heard some people say, like, oh I don't like it at all. But I definitely, for me it really made a big difference.
