I play football, and most football players are camera shy. We just want to be left alone; we just want to stick to what we do.

In football, I need full concentration even though I really enjoy it.

The trouble is that right now I want to put as much work into football as I can. It's very important for me to get off to a good start. By the same token, I feel a responsibility to handle the media and those sort of things.

When I'm out on the football field, I have so much confidence in what I'm doing.

If you play football, there's going to be a 100 percent injury rate. Something is going to be bothering you. So I just try to focus on the things that I can do to help my team.

In my situation there are often things I need to do for the team, so when I get the chance to relax it's all I want to do.

The best thing about football for me is the reacting. It's a lot of instincts. But training, for me, it's more for the meditating. And I spend more time training than actually playing football. So I get into that zone during training more than anything.

Football is big business - you can't get away from it. But you have to separate that side from the playing.

These days, I'm always trying to have lots of touches, to be involved, and to play my football for 90 minutes.

We try to play football; don't forget it, right. My teams always in my career try to play football. I cannot control the other circumstances.
