People may say we got engaged too quickly or too young, but sometimes you just know it is right. That's how it is with Cheryl. I don't want anyone else.

For me, above everything else, I want to win another title.
I don't think it's my personality to be going around telling people what I'm doing.
I don't like to speak. I like to keep myself to myself - quiet.
I've played 100 caps for England, for my country. Being the first black player, I think, is amazing.
Of course I'm a winner. I always want to win.
When I first came to Chelsea, I couldn't kick the ball, and it was pointless, me playing, really. But I tried to play through the pain for the manager who bought me.
To win the Premier League proves you are a top team.
I don't do things to try and get publicity or anything like that.
I just play my football, and if I can help people, then I help people.
You just want to play. You don't think about the money, how many followers you've got on Instagram. You just want to make it. You don't understand the demands, how intense it is at times - the scrutiny you're going to get.
I've not just played for England. I've done it for all the black players out there - to prove that they can do it.
I want to continue to win things, hopefully something with England, and if I can score the winning goal at the World Cup, then maybe they will like me again.
Everyone says it, but if you finish above United, you're going to win the league.
It is kinda strange when people know exactly where I've been because they saw it in the newspaper. But this is the culture we live in now, where people are interested in what you're doing on holiday, so we have to just basically accept it.
I don't really like seeing myself on TV doing interviews.
People talk about what I did in my private life more than if I'm good at football. 'Oh yeah, he was good, but I don't like him because of this.' But you don't know me! Know me as a footballer.
I'm not a diva, I'm not an egotistical guy that comes and thinks he's bigger than anyone.
All I can do is try to show people that I can play well and try to change their opinion.
