I have had so many team-mates who have been technically better than me.
I'm a part of a team, and I'm no better or any worse than any single player on this team. That's the approach I've always had and will continue to have. It's not about me. It has never been all about me. If it had, this would have been a really lonely journey.
There have been so many outstanding players I've had as team-mates, but if I had to choose I'd choose Giggsy, he can do anything.
Many people have helped me during my career and without them and fantastic team-mates and coaches it would not have been possible to achieve all that I have.
In football, I've always been about adapting to what's asked of me, to what my team-mates need from me. I'm a team player.
Many chefs are either technically or artistically better than me, but I know my food has soul.
I was loved in Liverpool, I had good relationship with the fans and my team-mates but I felt I could do better.
I wasn't the most prodigiously talented cricketer in Karnataka, let alone India. Some of my team-mates in my school team could hit the ball cleaner than I do. I had to work through that lack of talent, so to speak, that lack of natural flair. Runs never came easy for me.
Of course, I enjoy assisting my team-mates because playing no.10 is the position you have to serve your team-mates.
I like having as many team-mates as possible. It's great, because the more people you can learn off, the better I think it will make you as a driver.
I learnt a lot of things in Holland, as people have great vision there. It improved me as a player and a person. I had very good coaches that wanted to play offensive football and dominate games and be better than their opponent. You also need to play for your team-mates as well as yourself; then, afterwards, you can show your own quality.
There's so many kids out there and it's such a cut-throat world. I've seen a lot of my mates, you know, who are better players than me at a certain age, and they're not in football now.
You have to think for your team-mates and give them positive response. Whatever happens as a captain you have to take the responsibility. Backing my team-mates and supporting them was the biggest learning.
I speak five languages, which actually makes it easier when you join a new team. You can settle much quicker because you can help team-mates much faster and better. People need to be careful around me, though - I can understand everything.
I want to improve and learn and get better. To do that, I have to keep putting in good performances and help my team-mates around me.
People talk about me, and that's good, but a lot of it has been down to how my team-mates have supported me.
I don't really class myself as a musician, I can make music but I'm not the greatest technically. There were other people who were technically better than me in school but I knew how I wanted to sound and all I needed was to work out how to do it.
