I don't want to be a passenger sitting on the bench not doing much, even in my older years.
When you take a lot of stick you want to ram it down people's throats.
I have never seen a player as driven and determined as me, quietly determined; that's why I always want to do the best.
I'm not the kind of player to see out my time and sit with my bum on the bench too much. I want to be involved. That's my character.
I'm like everyone else: I want to play every game, but it's not possible.
I have a lot of good football talk with cabbies, but when you want to get somewhere in a hurry, it can be distracting. I always know they're going to want to talk football if 'Talksport' is on the radio.
Remember every team wants to beat Chelsea, probably even more than Manchester United or Arsenal because they believe we have an unfair advantage.
I never relax on the year before. Every year I want to get more out of myself so I use it as a driving force, rather than a pressure thing.
