Before leaving, I was seen as a good player, perhaps as a very good player, but as one of the many players that Bayern had. But if you play as a Real footballer, you get even more attention. Maybe that part from the fans I do not like so much.
When you wear the jersey of some clubs, you have this pressure every day. It's not the case in Tottenham.
I know without our fans and the devotion of our fans we wouldn't be here. I don't mean to put them down, but I'm just stating a fact that it is hard to play to people that see you all the time and it takes a lot of fun out of it in some ways.
Social media is one of the hardest things about playing for England.
You're only as good as your last fight. It's just the way things are. It's the way that the sport is built.
When I played for Arsenal, like once per month, you always had this feeling you had to perform.
You have to hit the ground running at West Ham. If you don't, suddenly from the fans it's, 'You're not good enough to play for our football club.'
You can feel a bit of extra pressure bowling at your own ground.
I used to cry when I let in a goal. I always thought I was to blame because I was the last man.
If people are talking about my weight cut all the time and are telling me how skinny I like, you have to respect the audience. You also have to respect all of the fighters who do this.
I know I have missed some chances, but that's part of being a striker, and I know it's part of being a striker that when you don't score, people talk about it.
It is true I know Buffon well, but I didn't change my style of taking penalties because of that.
