I love to get to Dubai. It's an impressive place, and you can do lots of different things there - beach, shopping, and other fun things.

Football is a lot to do with mentality.
You can't keep having the pressure on your goal all of the time because, eventually, a team will get through.
I always say, whether it's Liverpool or England, it's not just me who is a leader.
It is hard to leave your local club. All my family are Sunderland fans, and it is pretty tough because I have had some great years there, but I am looking forward to playing for Liverpool now.
When you play for Liverpool and England, you have good players around you, and you want to compete with the best.
In club football, Jurgen very much does everything, and we follow. We listen, and we follow him.
Real Madrid are a team of winners.
When you are very young and come through at a club, like I did at Sunderland, I suppose people do not expect as much and have not really heard much about you. Whereas, when you sign for a club, the expectations are higher.
I would say I am more comfortable in the centre of midfield. But when you are at a big club like Liverpool, you maybe get played in positions with which you might not be so familiar. But you have got to learn the different roles, because it gives you a better opportunity to play.
The way we play at Liverpool is with high-intensity football, pressing high up the pitch, winning the ball back quickly, and counter-pressing.
At Sunderland, if I had a bad game, it wasn't like it was the end of the world.
You give everything; sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but you always have to move on quickly.
You will get criticised, you will get praised - that's the way football goes. I've learned over a few years now that it can change within an instant.
I don't really go out. I stay in and watch TV.
At Liverpool and England, it's about moving forward and going in the right direction, and you don't want to be left behind by any means.
Coventry was a big part of my career, and I had a great time there.
I'm definitely not a karaoke man, but I like to try stuff, so I'd get up on stage and give it a go. It would have to be something cheesy - karaoke always is - so maybe R. Kelly, 'The World's Greatest.'
People have to fear England and not want to play us. The only way of doing that is to play at a high tempo and win games.
I'm a big believer in having to go through hard times to get to where you want to be. Nothing comes easy. You have to work.
It's in the DNA of Liverpool Football Club to win trophies.
You need people who are vocal on the pitch to give information at different times of the game.
When you play for Liverpool, there's always pressure, pressure to perform, expectation. Of course, that's the reason why you want to go there.
Now and again, you may be picking a pass or two in behind, making something happen, but when we're attacking - especially at Liverpool - I'm focusing on protection, being disciplined, being careful, worrying about counter-attacks, things like that.
It is nice to be playing, being on the pitch, and contributing to the team.
Obviously, it was an amazing feeling to play for Liverpool for the first time. It was a little bit funny to be playing against Sunderland, but it is still an amazing feeling every time I put on the Liverpool shirt.
Overall strength work - if you can do it regularly - makes a massive difference on the pitch, especially when you are fatigued. If you are stronger, it helps you deal with that.
The physical part of football has always been a massive part of my game so I can cover the ground during games.
I don't think I'll ever be another Steven Gerrard, to be honest!
Whether you win or lose, you need to stay on a level platform.
It's everyone's dream to play for their country.
I am a bit boring.
Football always changes. There are always new players coming in at your club or young players coming through with your club or England. You have to be ready, given 100%, improve, and get better.
I was still with Sunderland at the time of my first cap in 2010, and I remember getting the text to let me know that I was going to be called up to the squad - it was a Friday night, and I was in a hotel in London because we were playing Chelsea the next day.
It was football for me always.
I have been in tournaments before where people would say, 'England should win this game,' and we didn't.
Whether I'm captain or not, I always like to think that I lead by example anyway. I do the same things as I always do and try to help the group out.
When I finish my career, I can look back and then decide if it was good or not.
I have always wanted to fight no matter what position I am in, and whether that is Liverpool or England, I need to do more, and I need to do better because you have younger players, or players get signed for the club who push you and want to take your place, and you have to be better than them.
Spain are a fantastic team and fantastic squad of players.
You never know what will happen in football.
It's important everyone knows their roles individually and collectively as a group.
You have got to get to know people, and moving down to Liverpool from the North East was a huge change for me. But, at the same time, you have just got to get on with it, and that is part and parcel of being a footballer.
I tend to focus on core work most of all in the gym.
I suppose when people are criticising you and saying that you are not really worthy of going to such a club as Liverpool, it gives you a little bit more drive and more desire to prove them wrong. And that can only help you in the long run: make you a little bit tougher mentally.
There are a lot of players that want to go to the World Cup, so you have to be the player that goes out and performs and shows how much you want to go.
It's about being focused on what you want to achieve. That's all I do.
Ryan Giggs and David Beckham were the two players I've always looked up to.
I want to improve every season, every training session. I'll continue that until I finish my career.
Sometimes I can be a little bit cautious in keeping the ball, playing a safe pass rather than an adventurous one.
