I'll never forget where I'm from, never forget my roots. It doesn't matter where I live. I'm English, simple as that.
I just want people to see me as a hard-working footballer and someone who is passionate about the game.
With United, we'd all grown up together, we all wanted to win the biggest trophy in football. We did it togther.
No one's ever really given me any style advice. I wear what I want, and it doesn't matter what other people think.
I still look at myself and want to improve.
Every situation has changed me as a person.
My parents have been there for me, ever since I was about 7.
Everyone's been so quick to say that I'm really thick or I haven't got a brain. People will think whatever they want to think.
I love scoring goals for England and playing for England. That's one of the reasons I didn't retire - I love playing for my country.
I am happier now than I have ever been.
People react to criticism in different ways, and my way is definitely to come out fighting.
There's room for boys' and girls' football in the world-that's what I believe.
I don't think I'm really in a situation to complain, because I consider myself to be privileged to be doing what I do.
I'm a very stubborn person. I think it has helped me over my career. I'm sure it has hindered me at times as well, but not too many times. I know that if I set my mind to do something, even if people are saying I can't do it, I will achieve it.
Soccer is a magical game.
When I was a kid, I thought my dad was a little bit harsh with me at times. Sometimes I needed an arm around me instead of my dad telling me what I did wrong, but it obviously worked.
I don't regret the decision to retire. My body was losing its edge. I was taking longer to recover from injuries. You have to get out at some point.
Kids can have great passion and great ability but if you have the facilities for your particular sport that can give you the inspiration to become a sportsman.
I have got this obsessive compulsive disorder where I have to have everything in a straight line, or everything has to be in pairs.
The buzz is still with me. I get goose bumps.
As a footballer you always want to test yourself against the best.
When you have kids you do grow up. I have just started realising it now-it changes the world, having children.
I'm a strong person, I'm a strong family man, I'm a strong husband and a strong father.
I love little kids looking up to me, young players looking up to me, respecting me.
Football's the biggest game in the world. America's the greatest sporting nation there is. To play some part in putting those two things together: why wouldn't I be excited about that?
