I love being a Liverpool player, being captain, living the dream," he said. "I wouldn't change it for the world. But sometimes there's that much at stake.
"I take any defeat home with me. I'm not the same person until the next game. Luckily we win a lot or I'd be a nightmare to be with."
"Looking back, I'm pleased how I have reacted. From the bad tackles and sending offs, to all the talk of a Chelsea move, which I regret getting involved in, and the own-goal in the cup final. Without the setbacks, I don't think I'd have achieved as much as I have.
"I wouldn't change anything for the world. I am captain of the club and doing what I always wanted.
"It's only as you get older, though, that you realise how important playing for Liverpool is. You cannot grasp that when you are setting out, so maybe that is why I look at things a bit differently. It's only when you play you realise how many people follow the club, how many people you have the ability to make happy, that you know you have to win. Nothing else.
