The odds were against us, but we deserve to be where we are.

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

To me it's the best trophy you can win and to bring it back for all them fans that have supported us right through would be something special.

I think we've got a lot players in the squad who are more suited to European football at the moment.

But I it doesn't matter who scores the goals so long as we win.

There's no doubt that the squad needs strengthening if we are to get back up among the top three because they are operating on another level to us at the moment.

I watched Italia '90 with my Mum and Dad and my brother, you know, leaping around the house when the penalties were on... It would be great to be part of that, to have that kind of impact.

The Champions League is the competition everyone wants to be in.

I'm a fan myself and I'm frustrated just as much as them when we get beat.

Even now I can say I'd love to finish my career here, and then stay in the game after that.

We are Liverpool Football Club and the expectations are so high.

But I think the Champions League Final puts a massive pressure on every player and the manager, but we're enjoying the pressure and hopefully we can go there and win it.

I've got absolutely no intention of ever going to play at another club.

The fans have played a massive part in getting us to where we are, but the job's not finished.

This club is all about winning trophies and we've got a chance of bringing the greatest trophy of them all back to Anfield, so it means a great deal obviously.

Hopefully it'll give us a bit of luck on the night, but I'm not really a superstitious person.

It will be a dream come true if I can go there and lift it.

The odds were against us, but we deserve to be where we are.

I think every player listens out for his name being sung and it's something I really enjoy.

Against Juventus we were massive underdogs, so to beat them was fantastic.

I think it all goes down to who plays the better football on the night.

I share their frustration at times and I get down just like them when we suffer a bad result.

107 caps isn't bad for someone who isn't 'a top, top player', is it? I never expected to get that amount of caps. When I made my debut, I set myself the personal target of trying to get 50 caps and score 10 goals if I could. So to have 107 is something I am really proud of, particularly being among those names.

Grilled salmon and brown pasta works for me every time.

I was always determined to make it as a footballer, but if things hadn't worked out, I'd have maybe followed my dad into the building industry.

I'm born in Liverpool, I'm a Liverpool supporter.

I'm playing second fiddle to Justin Bieber - Bieber Fever is sweeping our house, and my girls have made it clear I'm no longer their favourite man.

If other people want to talk about my future I can't control that.

If you don't play well, you have a bad game or a nightmare you know that the amount of coverage is worldwide.

In football, the hero and legend status is given out far too easily for me.

It was difficult knowing one of your cousins had lost his life.

It's too easy to blame other people in football.

When I leave the car park at Melwood, I try and become a completely different person. I try to get away from it. You have got to. Otherwise you end up like Jamie Carragher - obsessed!

Dont try to beat the goalkeeper. Try to destroy the goalkeeper.

Football is all about winning things as a team but it's also important to pick up individual awards along the way.

Clever men are impressed in their differences from their fellows. Wise men are conscious of their resemblance to them.

A good director has to be a captain he has to work with a lot of people every day.

I can assure the people of Alabama I have never done anything illegal.

When I drive to work, I listen to thuggish rap at a very loud volume, even though the lyrics are degrading to women and offend me to my core. I am mortified by my music choices.

My big break was becoming the spokesperson for Texas Instruments. Casting directors really started giving me a chance to read for projects.

So I am, in fact, very optimistic about the future of my federal party.

There is poetry as soon as we realize that we possess nothing.

The fact disclosed by a survey of the past that majorities have been wrong must not blind us to the complementary fact that majorities have usually not been entirely wrong.

Oh my God, I think I purchased some Jimmy Choos, and they hurt like crazy. That's when I realized that fashion truly isn't about comfort; it's about looking good.

I think about never losing my voice, never giving in, never selling out, always keeping black, always sticking to the street. Staying neighborhood and not Hollywood.

One man's holy is another woman's sublime.

So China will be having to make some choices as to whose side it wants to be on. Hopefully, this will be the beginning of a major improvement in our relationship with them, if they choose correctly.

I want to be able to show people that I have flaws and they have flaws, too. And you know what that means? No one out there is perfect.
