 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. |
| We need to win something for the fans because they have been patient and very understanding and we owe them. |
| I have always passed the ball and worked on that part of my game. |
| I know I'm 25 now, but there's still that little lad inside me who likes his dad there to see him. |
| I'm enjoying myself this year and for once I'm not chasing my fitness. |
| Although my dad Harry is the manager of West Ham, we get on very well. |
| People ask me why I keep getting injured but I have just had to accept it is one of those things that happen. |
| You want to win things and I am at a club where we have the players to do that. |
| I've had two or three injuries when with England and it's been a bit bizarre. |
| I've been at Liverpool for eight years, and the time has come for us to start achieving. |
| People have always thought of me as a passer of the ball, but you can't just be that these days. |
| But what goes on in my life outside of the game should be my business. |
| You've got to do it all, the physical as well as the skilful. |
| It's not enough just being a good passer of the ball. |
| 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. |
| There is pressure every day as a footballer. |
| You can't play when you're not 100% fit especially at this level. |
| In the past I've had a bad injury, and then struggled when I've got back because I've been unfit. |
