English players are probably scared to come abroad. They are in a comfort zone in England: that's where we grew up; that's where we played in youth teams.

When you're growing up and thinking about being a footballer, you want to make as many caps and play as many games as you can.

My best memory was probably scoring a penalty against Manchester United.

I want to continue to win things, hopefully something with England, and if I can score the winning goal at the World Cup, then maybe they will like me again.

I love sports. Anytime I can combine sports with a film I'm a happy guy. It's such a natural fit, because sports always seems to be a metaphor for life. Always, always, always.

I loved DDT for the freedom; I was able to tell the wackiest and wildest of stories but also test myself as an athlete.

As a little kid, not only is my dad Jo-Jo White, but M. L. Carr is involved in the family, Red Auerbach is my godfather, and my stepmother was an Olympic-caliber sprinter. Athletes were all around. I happened to be a natural athlete. If I wasn't, it might have been hell. But I never got any pressure from my mom and dad to be an athlete.
