I am at my best when I am scoring.

What do folk always say about Arsenal? They can pass you to death.

Life is settled and I'm enjoying it.

I get recognised in the street, but that's more from all the Scottish people who are down in Blackpool on their holidays.

When I make mistakes, I just get on with it. I don't try to impress with that killer pass to make sure everybody notices me.

Losing a family member is extremely difficult for anyone to take. But the normal reaction is to want to get back to your work as soon as you can.

I have a fantastic respect for Liverpool the city, club and the fans, from the time I spent there. That respect will always be there.

It's funny being the big news every day - and the good news every day.

I never felt my career was going backwards.

I have respected every manager I have played under, but if you can't learn from someone like Mark Hughes, it is going to be hard for you.

I played in the Premier League for Blackpool and earned the right to go to a club like Liverpool.

I just love watching football. It doesn't matter what level it is, whether it's Fleetwood or Blackpool. I love to go and watch games.

I play beside one of the unsung heroes in David Vaughan. It's a privilege to play with him: he is breathtaking at times.

I'd never really thought of eating salads before.
