I still get butterflies when England are playing.

You have to go out onto the pitch feeling good about yourself. That can give you that extra 30 per cent.

I've never wanted to leave. I'm here for the rest of my life, and hopefully after that as well.

People are very proud of Newcastle, very proud to come from here. This is a working class City and they just want to enjoy themselves and live life to the full. They work all week, pick their wages up at the end of the week and they spend it over a weekend by having a good time and watching the football. That's our life.

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.

If you ask footballers to pick out the player they most admire, so many of them will pick Paul Scholes. His passing and shooting is of the highest level and he’s the most consistent and naturally gifted player we’ve had for a long, long time.

As a kid I always wanted to be a centre-forward. I wanted the buzz and thrill of scoring goals from an early age.

The managers are getting paid very well by their respective clubs to do a job for their clubs not the country they are working in.

I like the tag of being the world's most expensive player. It's an honour and a privilege.
