It definitely helps when you play regularly instead of coming in and out of the team.

I have to cause a stir in Liverpool and do my job really well. If I achieve that, then - and that's what I hope - I will one day get the call from Bundestrainer Joachim Low.

I want to be in goal and play for Liverpool every week and then win a trophy with the club. That's what everyone wants. I want to do my part and help.

It's good to have competition and good for the club to have three strong goalkeepers.

I used to spend a lot of time at football training, but that time was later spent in amateur acting classes and my local youth theatre, in plays at school and after-school clubs. That filled the void.

I think we have enough trouble finding community in this country, and sport does provide that. It is a mediocrisy, the greatest mediocrisy. If you're the best, it shows in sports. Nobody can say, 'Well, he's only there because of his connections,' or whatever. In that sense, I suppose it upholds democracy and the best in us.

Football's all about opinions, all of them different, whether from a top analyst or a man in a bunnet, and some folk are just never going to like you.

I wanted to play football and wear the Indian jersey, but there was no women's football team.
