I don't go out, so I don't get attention from girls. They're not going to have posters of me on their walls. I just try to get on with my life.

My dad's the one who's always been there; he's my hero, you could say. Even when he was working, he'd do anything for me. He's been the biggest influence in my life.

Whenever I get days off, I go home, or friends and family come up. I'm in contact with them every day, so it's like we live next door, but obviously we live in two different countries. Football is my job, and everyone around me has given me the opportunity to purely concentrate on football, and everyone else worries about everything else.

The last thing I wanted was to be with someone who's the same age as me and wanted the limelight, wanted the attention. There's lots of girls out there who do.

I've certainly not got any famous people's numbers on my phone. It's just not my thing, really.

I'm going to try to do music for the rest of my life, but that's just trying. Maybe it's not going to work out. Who knows?
