Be a leader, not a follower. Never let anyone tell you what you can and cannot be.
If you want success, you have to work hard at it and realize that it takes time; it doesn't come to you overnight.
I don't think about the past, I only think about the present because what I do today sets me up for the future.
Always follow your heart and have faith in yourself and believe in the Lord and He will believe in you.
As a man and as a sports figure, you have to set limits and set boundaries on what can and cannot happen. Once you do that, your family will start to respect you. 'OK, I get it, he's all about football and handling his business,' and that's what I've done. In the past, when I was a young man - a younger man - it was hard for me to say no. Since I'm older, wiser, I know how to handle people, know how to say no, know when something is right and something wrong. I use proper judgment.
The only time I really get afraid is when something is affecting my family. But even then, I start to think about the Bible and the passage that says "you should fear no one, fear no man, but only God," and I feel better.
I wake up each and everyday happy because of all of the great things that I have going on in my life and I think about all of the blessings that God has bestowed upon me.
I knew he would never play for Wales ... he's tone deaf.
