I was quite small as a lad compared to everyone else so I didn't stand a chance at Southampton. They told me one day that they weren't interested so I moved on. I just went away and enjoyed my football.

As modern-day professionals it all comes down to how you perform on the pitch.

I had been released by Southampton and was back playing Sunday League football when I signed for Bournemouth. I grew to love the club.

My experience at Bournemouth made me who I am today.

A club like Liverpool should always expect to be in finals.

As I said, the biggest competition is myself and it will always be.

Insanity is a very high art form. If everyone was insane, I wouldn't be here!

In reality art is always for everyone and for no one.

Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.

Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.

There's beauty in pain, and everyone experiences it - and it's a lesson.

I can write best in the silence and solitude of the night, when everyone has retired.
