Growing doesn't mean renouncing your history.

I grew up a lot as a professional and as a person in Liverpool, and I have very strong links to the club and the city.

I don't think I will stop learning about football. There are certain parts we will never understand, like what happens in the brain of a player or makes a team fear.

When the results are good, everything seems prettier; when things go bad, it seems like all conflicts, personal disputes, and problems arise.

When I first started playing the banjo and miraculously fell into a record deal in Nashville, TN, there was a period when I didn't go to China. It hurt. Like a pain in my gut... that pain you feel when you know it's time to connect with your parents or your God or your child or your past or your future... and you don't do it.

I think it's really good for a family or children to have a dog, cat, bird or whatever to grow up with.

My parents sacrificed everything for me. My father worked on a building site and as a driver - so many jobs. My mum was at home full-time to take care of me, my sister, and two brothers.

My family are not sporty - they are all doctors or lawyers.
