John Barnes was my idol growing up and he's the reason I've supported Liverpool. I play nothing like him, though!

I would never lie about another professional.

I'm aware that there are a lot of guys playing at amateur level with a build like mine and I say stick at it, use what you've got to make an impact on the game.

There was a long period when I was younger where people always talked about my size and I was going 'but look, I can play, though, I can play' but you look at it, to have a career, 12-13 years, you've got to be more than just a brute.

Once I accepted music was my path, I rebelled by wanting to do it my own way. I also didn't think it was respectful to my father's career and creativity to assume that I could jump on the back of all he had worked his entire life for.

Earlier in my career, a lot of guys wanted individual numbers and to do well individually.

When you delegate work to the member of the team, your job is to clearly frame success and describe the objectives.

It had not occurred to me that marriage requires the same effort as a career. And unlike a career, marriage requires a joint effort.
