The World Motivation
Every game means something, the supporters are fantastic, and since I've come to Palace, I've learnt to fight as a team and for the three points.

Playing at the World Cup stage excites me.
It's important for me to work hard and give 100 per cent in training to try to improve.
It was tough mentally at Chelsea, obviously not getting the game time. I had to be really patient and have the mentality to still train right and do all the right things.
I had problems growing up. I had a sudden growth spurt at 15 or 16, and I got a lot of injuries as a result. I gained all this muscle, and my bones couldn't cope. I used to get so tired.
I am not a trained singer, but I used to sing for my father's theatre troupe and that's where I learnt the ropes of pitch and rhythm.
My mother taught me my first bhajan. My mother, Shobha Nigam, was a very religious woman. From her only I learnt 'Om Jai Jagdish' song and used to do puja along with her.
In life some people say they can't do something and they'll need help, but when I didn't have a producer I just learnt how to be a producer and did it for myself. Same with learning the piano and learning the guitar.
When films looked a little difficult I did two TV shows and learnt a lot. I even did modelling in between.
I have learnt to enjoy my own company because I have lived alone many years.
