I have been playing for England since I was 18, and while I wouldn't say I took it all for granted, it just seemed to be a part of my season - to play for Arsenal and to play for England.

When my dad was still playing, he was away for five years on and off, so it just used to be me and my mum at home until my little brother came along when I was five.
As a footballer, you want to play every game.
If you are good friends with someone, you get to know them better and their strengths and weaknesses. You have that respect for each other, and you learn the way one another play.
When I went to Arsenal I was working really hard on the weights, as Arsene Wenger is very keen on that.
What do folk always say about Arsenal? They can pass you to death.
Coming to Arsenal makes me think everything is possible and I know by working hard and giving my best in every game, I can live up to their high expectations.
More people go to Tate Modern than watch the Arsenal.
I'm in love with my jab. I use it to get started, then use different punches from my arsenal to finish.
When I've watched teams that play with five at the back and wing-backs, I've looked at their starting positions and positions out of possession because that comes a little bit more unnaturally to me.
