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

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.

We should have a State in which we could live and breathe as free men and which we could develop according to our own lights and culture and where principles of Islamic social justice could find free play.

So, first you have to be able to play with a metronome. Then you take your freedom. If you play in an orchestra, you got to watch the conductor, he is like a metronome, but it is more difficult because he can change rhythms.

Never play anything that don't sound right. You might not make any money, but at least you won't get hostile with yourself.

A play is much easier to maintain your personal life with because if you're rehearsing, you're working like from 11 to 6 or 11 to 5 and you get to have your whole morning and your whole evening. When you're doing the play, you have all day.

I'd like to one day play Amanda, the mother, in The Glass Menagerie.

I couldn't be happier about being a part of 'Hunger Games' and to play Katniss. I have a huge responsibility to the fans of this incredible book and I don't take it lightly. I will give everything I have to these movies and to this role to make it worthy of Suzanne Collins' masterpiece.

For years the Trio did nothing but play for musicians and other hip people. We practically starved to death.

If you give it good concentration, good energy, good heart and good performance, the song will play you.

Genius is not a possession of the limited few, but exists in some degree in everyone. Where there is natural growth, a full and free play of faculties, genius will manifest itself.

I mean when the play was on in New York I was starting to get film offers coming through, and since the film's come out I get offered more than I used to, but it happens incrementally.

If Davis Cup was a little bit less or once every two years, I would be more inclined to play. But the way it is now, it is too much tennis for me.
