People react to criticism in different ways, and my way is definitely to come out fighting.

Being hardworking is the best thing you can show children.

My grandparents - my mom's parents - they're Jewish. But nobody ever pushed religion onto us. It wasn't something I ever grew up with.

It's one thing I like about America - they respect the sportsman. They put them up on a pedestal. They don't try to knock them down. And that's a great thing, to be respected by the whole country. It's so patriotic!

We've been asked to do 'Playboy' together, me and Victoria, as a pair. I don't think I'll ever go naked, but I'll never say never.

We stay as a team. I might be England captain, but that doesn't mean I get treated differently.

Being at a club that supported me meant a lot.

Tom Cruise, he's a lot more famous than me.

I've felt a little tired, but I'm only 24. I love playing football. That's my job and that's what I love doing.

I don't know whether it's the athlete in me or the passion I have for the game: I always think that I can step back on the field and play.

I love little kids looking up to me, young players looking up to me, respecting me.

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.
