There's that talent thing where I can score goals, and there's also that want and ambition to keep doing it and doing it and doing it. I've seen a lot of players do it for a year and then they rest on their laurels, but I've been very driven throughout my career. Without being the most talented, I think I've tried to make the most of it.

Goals never come easy. No one gives you goals.

I always dedicate my goals to my mum. I lost her a couple of years ago. She was my biggest supporter and is always with me.

I loved reading Roald Dahl when I was young but I had forgotten a lot about the books. I read the 'BFG' on the iPad the other day and it was so interesting to see his descriptions of clothes and places.

Holiday food is rich and indulgent. Going-home-to-see-family food is richer and even more indulgent.

My family and friends, they know that I'm a really good competitor.

I'm afraid in my family we still laugh now about the fact that I was called 'stubborn' and my brother was called 'determined.'

People say to me, 'Are you still excited when you go on tour?' Should I be excited about leaving my family? No, and no one should. It's as simple as that. If you put aside the fantasy of it, it is what it is and has to be done. And that's fine, and I pour my entire energy and enthusiasm into it, but of course, I'm of two minds about the whole idea.
