People always seem to be interested in my private life because I'm married to a pop star.

People have always thought of me as a passer of the ball, but you can't just be that these days.

Sometimes, you just get a label and it sticks.

The way I am, I like to look forward instead of looking back.

There is pressure every day as a footballer.

We need to win something for the fans because they have been patient and very understanding and we owe them.

You can't play when you're not 100% fit especially at this level.

You have to be professional and think about the future.

You want to win things and I am at a club where we have the players to do that.

You've got to do it all, the physical as well as the skilful.

I suppose it hacks me off sometimes when people go on about all the other stuff, because I have really worked hard at my game, and I've been incredibly dedicated in getting myself fit, and getting my game right.

But there's no point in looking back and saying I was unlucky.

I am a positive person and do not allow things to get on top of me.

People ask me why I keep getting injured but I have just had to accept it is one of those things that happen.

Although my dad Harry is the manager of West Ham, we get on very well.

As I say, you get labelled. To stop all that, I've got to win things - that's the only way you make your mark.

At no point was my career under threat, so I always knew that I would get back into action.

But I just want to be known for my football.

But I've never once thought that I wouldn't get back, as if you do think like that, then you're in trouble.

But what goes on in my life outside of the game should be my business.
