Some players have got their price, but, to be honest, that's not the way I look at the game.
— Jack Wilshere
When you go to the training ground day after day, there's times when you don't want to do it, especially when you see all the boys go out to training.
Of course there's going to be expectations when you're playing well in the national team. But you just have to deal with that.
It's a pleasure to play for England, and I will never say no.
Football never stops, and that's why you need a big squad.
I'm not just a footballer; I'm a top athlete, and we have to be at the top of our game.
The only people who should play for England are English people.
I'm not really a defensive midfielder.
I realise things aren't going to go my way every week. Of course they're not. But the main thing is to give your all and enjoy.
It doesn't 'hurt' me, hearing criticism from ex-players. It probably disappoints me a little bit more.
I definitely wouldn't go somewhere just because I'm a homegrown player. I'd want to be wanted by a club.
If you look at the top midfielders in the past for England, like Lampard, Gerrard, and Scholes, they were always on the scoresheet.
Lionel Messi is on a different planet to anyone.
If you don't believe in yourself, then who is going to believe in you?
Nothing goes through your head when you're playing except who you are playing against and what you can do to affect the game.
I want to go to the World Cup and enjoy it.
I know my body well. I know the right foods to eat.
The criticism that Arsene gets is just a joke.
It's a dream to play for England, so if I'm selected, I'd look forward to playing. But it's down to the powers above me.
I don't think one player can ever win a World Cup.
It's good to be around an English manager.
Players and people make mistakes.
If I went to Spain and lived there for five years, I'm not going to play for Spain. For me an English player should play for England, really.
I think every manager is the same. Three days before the Premier League starts, every manager is selfish that way. They want the players fit and ready.
It's every kid's dream to represent their country at a World Cup.
Now I've learned to enjoy my football while I can. Every time I'm on the pitch, I just enjoy it.
Look at the best dribblers in the world, Lionel Messi and Andres Iniesta, and the ball seems to stick to their foot, so I can work on that when I am dribbling.
Sometimes you have to shield, and sometimes you have to press.
Sometimes it's been difficult to stay positive, especially after the injuries that I've had, which have been frustrating.
I like to play anywhere in the middle.
Once I'm at the training ground, I'm focused, preparing for the next game.
As a player, if your attitude is questioned, it's horrible.
I've always loved representing my country, and it's something I've missed.
My kids, since birth, have been dairy- and gluten-free.
The aim every season is to challenge for the top four and try to win a trophy.
I prefer playing in a 4-3-3.
To spend 17 months on the sidelines is tough for anyone, and it's hard to see everyone go out training and then to go and watch games at the Emirates Stadium.
It's impossible for one player to play the whole year. I've learnt that myself, and you're always bound to get injuries.
Teams want the best players. If the best players come through your academy, you can play.
If you've lived in England for five years, for me, it doesn't make you English.
I'd say I was an attacking midfielder, and if you are going to be one of the best, you have to score goals and create them.
I have had bad luck with injuries, but I can't keep saying I've been injured a lot.
I'll take criticism. I know that's part and parcel of football. But when it's just reckless and aggressive, I don't listen.
I want to be wanted by Arsenal. I've grown up at Arsenal. I'm a homegrown player, and as long as Arsenal want me, then I'm happy.
Sometimes when people play for their country, I think there is that little bit of fear and pressure.
Being injured, coming back, playing a few games, trying to get your fitness back, getting injured again - you don't get a chance to prove what you can do.
With Arsenal, I've been playing out wide, which is not me.
If I'm on the bench in a Premier League game, I'm thinking, 'What can I do coming off the bench?'
When you are injured - and injured for a while - it is hard. You have to go to the training ground and watch everyone go out to play.
I know the best way to recover and get the right amount of sleep.
