I'll never praise myself, because I think there's always improvement to be made.
Andrew Robertson
Everyone knows what toothache's like: it's one of those dull pains that just won't go away.
I always believed in my ability. I just had to work hard and be patient and, yeah, at times it didn't look likely. You need a wee stroke of luck but every chance I've been given, I've taken.
You can get lucky in the cups, but you don't get lucky over a 38-game season.
When you hear Liverpool want you, you call your agent back in about five seconds.
When I got the chance to play in the Premier League with Hull City in 2014, I had lived a lot of real life.
I set myself high standards, and when I drop below them, I'm not happy about it.
Once you get a feeling for trophies and going far in European tournaments with your club, then you want to replicate that with your country.
Football is full of highs and lows, but when people retire, they often say, 'I wish I'd enjoyed it more.'
When I moved to Hull and I was playing against players in the Premier League, maybe I pinched myself then.
If you're let go from Celtic, the club you support, and go to Queen's Park, people think it's a disaster. I don't think I cried, but I was very upset. As a young boy, your dream has been taken away. But I had good people around me, and it was probably the best thing that happened.
No magic wands have been waved in my direction; I didn't win some kind of lottery to land a spot at one of the biggest clubs in the world.
Everything I get praised for, I can still work on and get better.
My ambitions were always to be a solid SPL player.
I was brought up in Glasgow, and I was a big Celtic follower.
I have always said that I am one to look forward rather than back; what has happened in the past I can't change now. What is forward, I can.
At the top end of the Premier League, you have to be ruthless. Even just to get in the top four is hard.
Going for titles and medals - who wouldn't want that? Trust me, it's a much nicer feeling than fighting relegation.
Sometimes my passes don't find people, but I do try and create.
Relegation - that's pressure.
That's why it's hardest to win a Premier League instead of a Champions League - because it's over 38 games. You can't play well in every game, but it's about grinding out results.
A team like Liverpool you are not going to turn down.
I like pressure. I put in on myself, and I think I get the best out of myself by doing that.
When you get the armband, everyone looks to you to lead, and when things go wrong, then you get criticised the most, and I need to take that on the chin.
My first year at Queen's Park, I just wasn't good enough, but that tough period shaped me.
Even when I have a good game, you can still do things better.
My brother and I had Henrik Larsson posters everywhere.
I've never wanted to be a poster boy, but if I'm going to be a poster boy for anything, it should be this. If you don't give up, and if you carry on believing in yourself when others are doubting you, you can make it.
It's funny, actually... a few clubs called when I was in preseason with Hull in 2017, but I wasn't really that interested. My missus was pregnant, and we were in the process of getting everything ready for our big arrival - that was our top priority, like any expectant parents.
I don't like sitting on the bench even when it was very rare at Hull to rest during cup games.
Not many things bug me, but if there's one thing that does, it's the idea that my story is a football fairytale.
We all need to chip in with goals and assists. It's not just the front three. It's not just the defence that keeps clean sheets, either. It's a team game.
I had grown up going to Celtic Park with Mum, Dad, and my brother. We had four season tickets.
I know when people say I'm some sort of Cinderella Man that it's meant as a compliment. I appreciate that, but to be totally honest, it doesn't feel like one, because it isn't true.
A lot of players try to buy penalties, and sometimes defenders can't do a lot about it.
There's not much point breaking records if, in the end, it doesn't mean anything.
Queens Park was amateur, so you do not get paid. You need to make a living, and for the first few years, when I was in the youth side, it was fine because I was still at school.
I'm not a good spectator; I'm a nightmare when I'm injured and I'm not playing.
I don't like it if I'm not part of the starting 11.
You want the world-class players playing at the World Cup, and you want them to do themselves justice.
If there's competition in training, then the training is intense, and then you have the pressure of a weekend that if you don't put in good performances, then your place is maybe up for grabs.
For me, at the level I'm playing at, I would love to finish my career at Liverpool if you gave me that option.
With or without the armband, I would love to pull on the country's colours. That doesn't change.
In the long run of the league, the best team always wins.
A point at Old Trafford is never a bad result.
The food bank is something I've always supported because there's no excuse for anyone to go without food.
Nobody wants the left-back's shirt.
I'm never going to question the fans.
Don't get me wrong: it's unbelievable getting linked with big clubs. That's where you want to go; of course it is.
I'm not a person who wants to be the centre of attention or anything like that.
