John Barnes was my idol growing up and he's the reason I've supported Liverpool. I play nothing like him, though!

I would never lie about another professional.

I'm aware that there are a lot of guys playing at amateur level with a build like mine and I say stick at it, use what you've got to make an impact on the game.

When I look back at my career it is nice to know that I've been appreciated on and off the pitch because not everyone is.

I want to have time for myself, my family and my friends. It's important because in order to sing well, you must have inspiration, and inspiration comes from life, from living.

My biggest inspiration is Audra McDonald.

This sounds ridiculous, but my political inspiration is not Marx or Engels or ­anything like that. It was my mum."

If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.
