I always think the same: English players don't generally leave England, which is strange. But of course, the Premier League's got the reputation as one of best leagues going, and one of the most competitive leagues.

You expect to have to soak up some pressure when you are playing Manchester City away from home.

Are Chelsea a hard club to turn down? Yes, of course.

Leaving Chelsea was sad, but naturally everything has to come to an end.

When I first came to Chelsea, I realised there is an expectation on everybody here and history proved that this club wins trophies. I wanted to be a part of that. Thankfully, I've worked hard, got in the team and I've played my part.

Having people doubt you is what gives you that fire in your belly.

There are challenges in front of you that you face all the time in football. You ride through and come out the other end.

That's the buzz you want as a footballer - to perform well in the big high-profile games.

Hopefully, I've got rid of the question marks over whether I can play at the top level.

I've played in the big games and I've done well.

I know when I'm good and when there are a few things I need to iron out.

I'm human. I want to play, I want to perform well.

Where you have a little setback or you are out of the team you're considered a different player but you know you will come out of the other side of it.

I was always confident that if someone took the chance to play me week in and week out that I would fulfil my potential.

Rafa Benitez was keen on defending - all dropping back together if you lose the ball.

The scary thing about blood clots is where they can lead.

Paul Gascoigne was one who I watched as a young boy. He was a hero to all of us really. Chris Waddle was one for me too, just because of where I grew up. Where I'm from, he was somebody who was representing England and playing in the Premier League, and as a young boy I always wanted to do both.

My best World Cup memory as a fan? The Michael Owen goal against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup in France.

If you can play effective counter-attacking football, as you see in the Premier League, it's very effective.

Any moment that you have the opportunity to wear the armband for your country is amazing.

Playing at a club like Chelsea and being given the opportunity to play with the world-class players that we have means you can learn from them and improve your game.

I am constantly analysing my performances and I tend to focus more on things I haven't done as well as I'd have liked.

Playing at the World Cup is something that I am really hungry for.

I would say that a wasted vote is voting for anybody you don't believe in. If you believe in the third party, that's the guy you need to voice for. That's how you change things.

Regardless of who wins, an election should be a time for optimism and fresh approaches.

I'm one of those who believe the bumper sticker: If you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns. The first people who are going to be in line to turn in their guns are law-abiding citizens. Criminals are going to be left with guns.

That's the first sign you know you're a Libertarian. You see the red light. You stop. You realize that there's not a car in sight. And you put your foot on the gas.

Unlike President Obama, I am not afraid to state, without a wink or a nod, that the government has no right to tell us who we can marry or not marry.

I climbed Mount Everest. I don't quit.

People are clamoring to hear good ideas as opposed to the lesser of two evils... Either the Democrats are going to win or the Republicans are going to win, but the losers are all of us out here as citizens that really do want meaningful change, and none of it's happening. There's no dialogue regarding meaningful change.

I don't think you can climb Mount Everest with a broken leg, but I did break my leg prior to going to Mount Everest, so I was really climbing with a healing broken leg. I had the good fortune of climbing the highest mountain on each of the seven continents. That was a goal that I had.

Do I favor the death penalty? Theoretically, I do, but when you realize that there's a 4 percent error rate, you end up putting guilty people to death.

In a zero corporate tax rate environment, if the private sector doesn't create tens of millions of jobs, then I don't know what it takes to create tens of millions of jobs.

I believe we can, and must, strike a balance between our shared American values of religious liberty and freedom from discrimination. My concerns lie with the possible consequences of politically-driven legislation which claims to promote religious liberty but instead rolls back the legal protections held by LGBT Americans.

All I suggest is to make K-12 like higher education. Higher education in the United States is the best in the world because these institutions compete with each other for your tuition dollar. Let's just bring competition to public education.

If I could wave a magic wand, we would eliminate income tax; we would eliminate corporate tax. We would abolish the IRS, and we could replace all of it with one federal consumption tax.

One of the biggest concerns that many voters have with both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, but particularly with Ms. Clinton, is the sense that she uses government power to advance her personal and political interests. She is the very status quo. Americans want that changed.

If there were no government-guaranteed student loans, college tuition would be much lower.

I hope that people will see that we don't have to sit by the sidelines and watch as the two major parties limit their choices to slightly different flavors of the status quo. It is, in fact, possible to join the fray, stand up for principles and offer a real alternative.

I agree that the two-party system stomps on any kind of competition. A great first step is to open the presidential debates to all qualified candidates, including the Libertarians. If that happens, the Libertarian party will experience unprecedented growth.

Marriage equality - I think that it's a constitutionally guaranteed right. Let's end the drug wars. Let's balance the federal budget, and that means reforming the entitlements - Medicaid, Medicare.

At the earliest age, when I saw a 'wet paint' sign, I had to touch the paint to see if it was wet. When I get stopped at the stoplight in the middle of the night, and there's just no cars coming, and the light is red, I go. I don't think I'm putting anyone in harm's way, and I'll just take the consequences. Because I'm a Libertarian.

I'm a plodder, one foot in front of the other. Life is all about understanding that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. And it's your ability with how you deal with that adversity that ultimately affects your success.

Hillary - at the end of the day, isn't that going to be about bigger government? Isn't that going to be about more taxes?

I'm not a stone-thrower when it comes to Hillary Clinton and her emails and her server. I don't think there has been criminal intent on Hillary Clinton's part. I don't see an indictment.

If China wants to spend $10 producing a product and sell it for a buck, who benefits from that? I think we do. I'm the free market guy. I think free markets work.

There was a big difference between Ron Paul and me when it came to the 'no.' His 'no' was philosophical. It was reasoned. It was right. My 'no' actually put a stop to legislation. It cut spending. Mine carried further than just no.

Religious beliefs have played a vital role in forming America's character as well as my own. I was raised as a Lutheran, and I believe in God and consider my faith and involvement with organized religion to be an important part of who I am.

I just see religious freedom, as a category, as just being a black hole.

I think that the best that government can do for you and I as individuals is to empower you and I to make decisions that only you and I should make.
