I played at Aston Villa for four years and most of the time I loved it there, but typically it took me a while to settle in.
I played in an FA Cup final for Aston Villa and the manager went negative, sitting everyone behind the ball against Chelsea.
When I came to Aston Villa, they had struggled for two years before then.
I joined Aston Villa to improve myself in the Premier League. It started well but then I got injured and Villa ended up having five managers that season.
When I was 15, Aston Villa offered me a trial for four days. In those days, I was more interested in making mischief and I didn't even turn up until the fourth day and then they sent me packing because they said I wasn't dedicated enough.
I've said it for a long time that Aston Villa is a special club.
Stats can do anything you wish. When we got the sack at Aston Villa it came out there had only been Man City in that calendar year who had scored more goals than Villa.
I played volleyball for Brown University and loved playing there. I played all four years and was captain my senior year. Second team all-Ivy, academic all-Ivy. I really loved it. When I was graduated, I figured that was it.
I wrote a song several years ago while I was in college called 'Muscadine Wine.' I really didn't know if it had potential or not, if it was good or bad or what. I played it for my roommates - who I played ball with - one night, and I knew they would tell me the truth. They loved it, and that encouraged me.
Few people will say maybe I had a tough time with different teams like Aston Villa and Middlesbrough but in each situation, I tried to take the good things.
And that's Aston Villa's first league goal since their last one.
I think the time I spent at Aston Villa was difficult. It was a difficult time and a difficult moment for the team.
It's something that I've always done. I started singing when I was four years old; that was the first time I took a voice lesson. I would say, maybe from five years on, I sang on stages constantly. That's what I call my natural habitat: It's a place where I feel most like myself and the most confident, the most excited.
Aston Villa have literally metaphorically had their pants pulled down
Even when I went to Aston Villa, it was very important that I was not in competition with Manchester United.
