A lot of people may know my face and know that I'm a good player on the football field, but they probably don't really know me as a person.

If you saw pictures of me as a kid, you'd laugh because I was always in football kit.

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.

People know what they're getting with me. It's part and parcel of football that people want to see new faces, but all I can do is play games, score goals and prove I can do it. My record is there for everyone to see.

I see pictures of myself and I always knew that what I was feeling didn't look like that guy in the pictures.

Sometimes I think all my pictures are just pictures of me.

Believe me, I don't like being photographed. I don't like myself in pictures. Actually, I do sometimes.

Sometimes I dream to be alone and that nobody would talk to me. But I understand that football is really important and that everybody watches it. When you're famous, you have to do photos or autographs, especially for the kids.
