I know I'm a good professional, I know that no one's harder on me than myself and that's never going to change, under any circumstances.
Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it's much more serious than that.
I'm the leading scorer in the cup, and that's lovely, but don't forget this is also a great moment for the whole squad, when the two things coincide you can't ask for more.
Since I moved to Blackpool, I've met a lot of great people, and if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be as successful as I was because I'm settled off the pitch.
I'm from a council estate myself, and the biggest release we had as kids was football. That's where all the great players learn their trade - as kids having a kickabout.
I keep a journal, and every day I write down one great play that I had that day. I don't write down any negatives.
I think everything happens for a reason and all the things that happened to me - good, bad - I'm glad they did. It's made me ready for life, for adulthood.
I'm not a defender of old or new football managers. I believe in good ones and bad ones, those that achieve success and those that don't.
In the end, it is about whether God wants us to be in the final, but I know that is what God wants. This time we will not need the Hand of God, because it is the will of God.
Leadership must be likeable, affable, cordial, and above all emotional. The fashion of authoritarian leadership is gone. Football is about life. You can't be angry all day.
Management interests me at some stage in my life, I have always said that. When that will be I really couldn't tell you.
The regular things in my life now - training sessions and playing matches - will all fall away. That will leave a big empty space and it will need to be filled.
I want to again highlight the desperate need for us to pull together - the world over - to tackle knife crime and teach everyone how sacred a life is.
It's got to be harder in real life to win a World Cup. But depending on if you play World Class level on FIFA, it's going to be difficult to win in the video game, too.
I don't want to pack everything into one year and then do nothing the rest of my life. I think it's important to do things bit by bit.
As a footballer I can't imagine life without the use of one of my legs... Sadly this is exactly what happens to thousands of children every year when they accidentally step on a landmine.
I've felt a little tired, but I'm only 24. I love playing football. That's my job and that's what I love doing.
I didn't want to be the rebel who was bottom of the class, so I worked hard. They wanted me to stay on for A-Levels, but football came calling - that was my real love.
My desires are simply I love to teach, I love to be in uniform, I love to throw batting practice, I love to be with the kids.
I think there is a special bond between Carolina athletes. A lot of people seem to wear our gear because it is fashionable. They love the colors. It's Michael Jordan's school!
If I can make an impact, I want to help some kids and bridge the gap between soccer and celebrity in America.
