Any change of my style, the way I've played for 10 years, will not be a drastic one. Yes, I've always given as good as I've got as a forward you have to do that because, if you don't look after yourself, you might find yourself being thrown in a hole and buried.

It does not bother me that some say I'm dull and boring because the people that do know me will tell you a different story. It is very difficult to be open with people you don't know. There is nothing I can do about the fact that the real me does not get across and it is probably difficult to know the real me.
