When there's so much freedom - financially and otherwise - smart kids get themselves into trouble. My parents did a good job of sheltering me from the negative aspects of wealth and success.

I look back at the 1990s with its light-wash jeans, and I'm like, 'What...?'

My dad once showed me 'The Guns of Navarone' when I was a kid. I haven't rewatched it since, but it gave me such a warm feeling.

I remember meeting Roger Moore at my grandfather's house as a young boy and being impressed because I was such a big fan of '007.' But I was young, and I didn't have a perception of what celebrity was or who my grandfather was... I still don't, really.

When I was growing up, I played a lot of different sports. There was a time when I was playing field hockey, tennis, and soccer at the same time. I was actually quite good at all of those sports.

The ultimate dream of an athlete is to compete in the Olympics. For us athletes, that is the zenith. There is nothing beyond that.

Sports is like a war without the killing.

But also outside of football, with the family, the most important is to settle down, to have everything good outside with school, etc.
