Royston Drenthe

If somebody says they are going to do something - and then later they don't - it affects me a lot, and I lose confidence in them.

I'm really happy in Liverpool and the club feels such a family. I feel great, I have a nice house and my family have been here from the beginning so they could help me.

I want to do what I like and that's play football.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

I believe in the power of poetry, which gives me reasons to look ahead and identify a glint of light.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.
