It’s important we win and because of the players we have we should win some matches in style.

I enjoy spending time at home or going out for a quiet meal in a restaurant.

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

But I just want to be known for my football.

It’s not enough just being a good passer of the ball.

I haven’t achieved as much as I should have done in my career.

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

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

My dad knows the business, and he tells me I’ve got to do what’s best for me.

I know I’m 25 now, but there’s still that little lad inside me who likes his dad there to see him.

I have always passed the ball and worked on that part of my game.

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

Once Liverpool had asked me to sign again, there was no hesitation.

I never got to the point when I felt like running away from it all.

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...

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

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

I’m a footballer, that’s my job and that’s all I want to be known for.

I’m looking out for myself, but I’m looking out for my dad, too.

I’m enjoying myself this year and for once I’m not chasing my fitness.

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

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

The ankle was obviously a bit worrying at the time, but I’ve always felt confident that I would get back and be as strong as ever.

I’ve been at Liverpool for eight years, and the time has come for us to start achieving.

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

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

There is pressure every day as a footballer.

I’ve had two or three injuries when with England and it’s been a bit bizarre.

Sometimes, you just get a label and it sticks.

Peter has got the feet of a Wayne Rooney or a Ronaldo in that he has a lot of skills,

In the past I’ve had a bad injury, and then struggled when I’ve got back because I’ve been unfit.

The importance of a warm up and cool down can’t be stressed enough.

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

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

In the past, I have run forward with the ball desperate not to give it away because of the fear that the defence would not be able to handle it.

He is better than just making a nuisance of himself. That’s unfair, because he is a genuinely good footballer

You have to be professional and think about the future.

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.

It’s a horrible feeling – there’s nothing worse for any player than to be thinking at the back of your mind that there’s something wrong with you.

From a personal point of view I want some medals because that is what you aim for when you start out playing.

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

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