I'll never forget where I'm from, never forget my roots. It doesn't matter where I live. I'm English, simple as that.
I like nice clothes, whether they're dodgy or not.
Nothing amazes me anymore.
Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had.
This team [England] has some of the best players in England
It's my responsibility to walk around the hotel with a big smile on my face and not worry about what's happened in the last game.
No matter who our opponents are, or who we are playing against, we want to win the game.
I have always found it an honor that people have wanted to buy my shirt and an honor that fans turn up to watch the team I am playing in. I have always found that a huge honor.
I knew it was my time to retire, when I saw Messi running past me.
Is the Pope Catholic. No I'm serious. I really need to know.
Some people think that I haven't got the brains to be that clever.
I don't have time for hobbies. At the end of the day, I treat my job as a hobby. It's something I love doing.
Two of my boys are Manchester United fans; one is an Arsenal fan. Whenever there is a game I can take the boys to, I love taking them.
I would never complain about the position I'm in or the attention I get. At the end of the day, I'm very lucky to have what I have and do what I do, but I don't see myself as any different from anyone else who works hard and is a dad and a husband.
