When I was playing week-in week-out, I was playing 46 games a season, and there's nothing better than playing every week.
Training with world-class players week in, week out has only made me a better player and I'm thankful for that.
Because we're playing tournaments week in and week out I'd think to myself, 'What's the point in practising?' You have no down time to yourself and you're looking for some to spend with your family and friends. But I've now realised that with the game so cut-throat and standards going up every week, it doesn't work.
My hobbies are random. One week I want to exercise, one week I just want to eat all day. One week I'm going out every night and the next week I'm totally locked in my house, not going anywhere. I'm a little bit all over the place, socially. I don't have another passion or hobby - it's really music. I'm in the studio constantly.
WrestleMania is a week-long series of events, and the logistics of executing that week along with the week leading into it and the week after it are extraordinarily difficult in our own back yard.
I wasn't happy playing one or two games then coming out of the team. I wanted to carry on playing week in, week out.
I just really just try to get better as a player every week, just focusing on the team we have to play this week, and just trying to do whatever is best for the team that week.
The hardest part is finding that time to actually develop your game and get in practice. Literally going week in and week out playing with what you've got a lot of the time.
For a player with his talent, it is about doing it consistently week in, week out and over 90 minutes.
The only way you're going to improve is playing games and learning, being a regular week on week.
I'm a more consistent player than I was and if I can keep averaging over 100 week-in and week-out in the Premier League I'll be happy.
I don't think you can put into words the feelings you get playing week in and week out.
I wanted to get experience of playing a season on loan at a club, to play week in, week out.
When you're playing week in, week out, you're feeling fit, you feel strong, that's what you want. You find a rhythm, if you like.
We've got a lot of players not playing domestic football week in, week out. What is it? Is it the crest on their chest that makes them raise their game? It must be. It's playing for Wales. It's powerful and everybody would walk on broken glass to get into this squad.
Game-time is the most important thing for me. When you're playing week in, week out you have the confidence to show what you're capable of.
