I've worked with some of the best of them. Not just directors like Sam Peckinpah and David Lynch, but writers like Sam Shepard and singers like Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson.

You can do stuff onstage that you can't do offstage. You can be angry as hell and enraged and get away with it onstage, but not off.

A friend is somebody who doesn't lie.

I'd love to meet Gandhi. And Christ. I'm sure he'd be interesting. And a lot different than a lot of people would think.

I think any performing artist can do films, or, as a matter of fact, anybody out there in the street can be a film actor with no experience whatsoever if you've got a good director.

What did we play in the Harry Dean Stanton Band? It was old blues and country - all covers. I never wrote anything.

The first film I ever remember - I think my mother took me to it - was called 'She Married Her Boss' with Melvyn Douglas.

I was trained on the stage, and I can do stage as well as I can do movies, but I prefer films.

I have nothing to do with anything that happens to me.

Obviously, everyone's different, but I love just settling down and having a barbecue with my friends at the house.

When times are down, keep believing, keep working hard, and things will pick up.

It is a great boost for confidence in a squad when there is not just one or two players scoring goals, but the whole team is contributing.

I am confident in my ability, as I always have been, and that I will be capable of maintaining my form, if not improving, year in, year out.

My biggest weakness is steak. I have to be careful not to eat too much of it these days - but I do love it done medium rare, with peppercorn sauce.

Obviously, I am hoping to go on and win many trophies for Spurs and for England. That's always been the aim since I was a kid, dreaming of lifting the trophy one day for them, so that's what I've got to do.

I watched all the games in the pub with my family. We used to go to a place called The Sirloin in Chingford. It was quite a good atmosphere in there.

When teams are dropping off, it's difficult, especially as a striker. You always have two centre-halves behind you and maybe a sitting midfielder as well. It's a bit more difficult creating chances.

I think sometimes managers like to buy players because they're more experienced from abroad or when they've got players under their nose that will give everything to the club they've been brought up with.

You come up against challenges in life, and it's how you deal with them that defines you.

It isn't hard to practise finishing. You can do it on your own: just take a couple of touches and shoot at goal. You can do it with whatever equipment you have.

All I can do is my best for the team, whether that's from the bench or if I start.

I will always try to be as normal as I can. Obviously, there may have to be some limits with it, but I am still a fan at heart and want to live like a normal person.

When people think Arsenal had a bad season and we've had a good one, yet they still finish above us, it hurts.

I love this club, and to be wearing number 10 for Tottenham is amazing for me. I could not resist.

It's the worst feeling in the world - losing, and losing in a final on the big stage is even worse.

Whenever a new manager comes in you want to impress him.

I can't remember the last time I went to a club.

I love going to the Algarve and playing golf.

I remember the European Championships in 2004. Wayne Rooney was a special player in that tournament, and I definitely cried when we got knocked out then.

I'm in the team to score goals. I try and score as many as I can in the season to help the team out.

I think I had set-backs, but I still always had that belief that I was going to play for Tottenham Hotspur. Even when I went out on loan to clubs, it was always to come back and be a Spurs player.

In football, you have to grow up quickly, and you're generally more mature than other people your age.

The more players who come through the academy and make it into the first team, that's what we want. Not just for the club but for the country. If they're young English players coming through, that's fantastic. I'm happy to be part of that.

I've always wanted to be a footballer, and I've always believed that's the path I was going to go down.

I think to progress in major tournaments and to be at your best, you need a big squad, and you need to rotate it.

Anything I can do that will help me and the team, I'm happy to do it.

Tom Brady is a big inspiration and a big idol of mine.

You can run in behind someone - one v. one, you're better - so I'm always trying to work on my speed. That's probably one aspect I've worked on the hardest as a player. I want to always improve on everything in my game, but that's one area I really work on.

All we can do is win our games.

There's no point playing up front just because you want to be the one who scores the goals. Make sure you have a knack for it.

Getting respect from the opposition is a nice thing.

It depends on how my football career goes, but when I am finished, I would love to go the NFL and be a kicker. Even if I got to play just one game, it is something I would like to do.

I was a fan once, and I remember what it was like approaching footballers for their autographs. I used to get starstruck a lot of the time.

I want to keep working hard and looking to progress.

I take it season by season. I don't like looking too far ahead, because you never know what can happen.

If I can be a role model, or if I can maybe make another manager play a young player coming through rather than buy a player, that's incredible.

I'd love to be captain of Tottenham and hopefully England as well.

I want to play every game, as does every player. But sometimes, you just have to listen to the manager.

I want to go and get more goals, create my chances for the team, and do my best for Tottenham Hotspur.

Maybe defenders don't always get the recognition like the other players get.
