It's difficult when you're on loan, especially when you're not a young player who people may have sympathy for.

You have to control your anger - you can't be a baby when you lose.

It's a big moment, a heart-rate moment. It's all in the preparation for me. Watching the various takers, I can prepare as best I can. I can prepare, too, with my own team-mates - they practise, which, in turn, helps me practise trying to save penalties. I want as much confidence as I can in the preparation and then take it from that.

I'll keep supporting. I'll be an England fan no matter what, and I'll stay true to my word.

In my opinion, I think loans are for younger players trying to improve who have got the whole world in front of them.

I'm cool with Pep. I think he's a top manager.

I love football, and I love to play, and I want to play until I physically can't - whatever age that is.

I've got quite a few people who I hold close to my heart and I trust, and a lot of footballing opinions that I care about.

I need to improve and improve all the time because I'm still learning the game, and the game is changing all the time.

Whatever I'm capable of, I need to be the best I can.

'I don't know' are three words I don't like saying.

I always supported England as a boy; I think it's great to support your national team.

I think it's important to feel good so that the football can take care of itself. If everything else is organised and ready to go, then you're free to play football.

I've always had people around me who will love me for me, regardless of whether the football went well or if I'd have had to go down a different route. I've always felt that no matter where I've been or what I've been doing, I've always had that to fall back on, which is comforting.

You have teams on and off the field. You have your team off the field in terms of your family, friends, and people that you work with, and then you have your team on the field. You have to give to receive and be there for people and hope that they do the same for you.

I just love diving around in goal. Being able to do it for my country is amazing and I remind myself of it every single time I pull on an England shirt.

You have got to let the ball come to you as a keeper.

I'm someone who wants to do well at their job. I am completely in what I am doing.

I keep my focus on the stuff that matters to me, and that is pretty much how I live my life.

I don't really know football from the Seventies and Eighties. It's all myths and legends to me.

In the past, I've been lucky enough to receive some high praise, but when the experts have a go, I'm usually not particularly interested in what they have got to say.

Criticism certainly doesn't affect my life, and whatever the pundits have called me, I'm sure they have been called a lot worse in their day.

It doesn't change the way I am, but I do totally understand how you're looked at as a footballer, especially by children. I don't claim I can shape their lives, but there's no harm in having good manners and being seen to play the game properly.

I've always found that you can enjoy your life a lot more if you can get on with people. If I don't get on with someone, I don't necessarily go out of my way to be best friends, but you learn as you grow up how to get on with people.

If crowds give you abuse, there's no point standing there and giving it them back; you just move on.

There are plenty of downsides in life for anyone, including me. Everyone has their own personal worries. Everyone has normal families, with normal arguments. But in football, things are going really well, and that's what I want to maintain. That's one thing I can keep on top of.

I'm going to keep loving football. That's one thing I'm most proud of: my hunger and desire for the game has not stopped.

I am a lucky boy. Being a keeper is something in me and which I enjoy doing.

I love football, and if I could, I would play every day, even if it is my job.

I was a bowler - left arm, smash it down as fast as I could. I did a lot of work with Damian D'Oliveira, and I probably had a chance of doing that for a living. But when I reached 16, I knew I couldn't carry on playing both football and cricket, and I was already in the Shrewsbury squad.

Playing at Birmingham helped me grow as a goalkeeper: it made me better all round, being a regular part of a team.

Whether it's at club level or with England, I have to stay on my toes and make that place my own.

To go into a game wondering, 'What if I do this wrong?' is a terrible way to think. You just have to believe in what you can do.

I don't believe footballers have to live like monks.

There are places you should be and places you shouldn't, and situations you should not be getting yourself into. If you're turning up to games and not feeling right, that's when you've got to address the situation.

I was told I could play at the top long before I realised I could. A few people told me that. I've always had a 'name,' and I don't know how I got it, but I was blessed with people in the right situations saying good things about me.

International football's not always about playing the top three in the world - it's about going to some of the tougher places around Europe and playing real tough games.

When you become a professional footballer, there's no written contract that says you have to strive to play first-team football.

My feelings towards Manchester City will never change; I'm eternally grateful to them as a football club. They took me as a 19-year-old boy from Shrewsbury Town, took somewhat of a punt on me, and I've had some fantastic times.

Football is a game of opinions, and some people have a great opinion of me, and some people probably think I'm absolutely useless.

It's hard to please everyone, and I learnt quite early that that's never going to happen.

Why did I choose to be a goalkeeper? I don't know - it is good question. I have asked myself many times when things have not being going well.

You can be humbled as a goalkeeper. You have to accept that.

I will never go into a game aggressive because I will cost my team the victory if I am reckless. If I have got a personal vendetta with someone, or I don't like the way someone has done something to me in the game, I am just going to have to get over it.

I have always pushed myself. I have never settled for anything less than the best that I could give.
