Frank Lampard

There's that talent thing where I can score goals, and there's also that want and ambition to keep doing it and doing it and doing it. I've seen a lot of players do it for a year and then they rest on their laurels, but I've been very driven throughout my career. Without being the most talented, I think I've tried to make the most of it.

Goals never come easy. No one gives you goals.

I always dedicate my goals to my mum. I lost her a couple of years ago. She was my biggest supporter and is always with me.

I loved reading Roald Dahl when I was young but I had forgotten a lot about the books. I read the 'BFG' on the iPad the other day and it was so interesting to see his descriptions of clothes and places.

Every season will have its dips and hard moments, and the challenge then is to make sure you don't get too down in those moments and make sure you come back fighting.

Barcelona are my favourite team in Spain, let's put it that way.

I'm not silly. I understand that, with age and at different parts of your career, you have different challenges.

Of course, there will be few people who are sympathetic but you don't become a great team overnight, no matter how much money you have at your disposal.

Being faster would probably make me better at football.

Nobody expects a footballer to have any kind of an IQ, which is a bit of an unfair stereotype.

I've enjoyed every minute of travelling and playing for my country. What an honour that is.

To be honest, I was Mum's boy. Always was, always will be.
