I am enjoying the opportunity to play in the Premier League.

I learnt at the Euros that that is the level I want to be at. That is where I want to be. The standard of the strikers there was top class. That is where I want to be for a long period of my career.

Communication is something that I find if don't do, I will go missing, I won't be fully focused. If I'm constantly giving messages to the defenders not only do they know where they are but I am switched on and in the right position. It all links together.

All I can focus on is playing as many games as I can at the highest level. If that leads me to the World Cup, then brilliant. It's certainly a target of mine.

Of course, I want to play for England as often as I can and at major tournaments.

I've played for England, played in the Olympics and made my Premier League debut.

England is really important to me, and the only way I can stay in there is by playing well.

For me, playing for my country is the ultimate honour, and I've been fortunate enough to do that through many of the age groups. It's something that will never get old or boring for me.

My ambitions are to be the Stoke number one and England number one, but there are other things I want to achieve in my career as well.

The Champions League has always been a target of mine. I do want to play at the top.

I won't kick up a fuss and I will always be a team man, but ultimately I want to play.

Ask any keeper what it's like when there's a recognised No. 1, the competition might not be as high. You're after that competition because it drives you on further.

We are a rugby family really. My dad and both granddads played rugby. Dad was good, on his way to Bath until he broke his leg. My brother Harry got an invitation to go and play for Bristol. I go and watch Sale Sharks and have been to Twickenham a few times.

Sometimes you have a good game and mentally you are very tired.

I wasn't a goalkeeper until I was 13 or 14 so before that, my heroes were the likes of Paul Scholes and David Beckham, but since becoming a goalkeeper, I've obviously trained with Joe Hart.

You want to make an impact and show what you're about.

I love playing any sport.

The Olympics has solely been around other sports as far as Great Britain has been considered.

I have learned in football that you can't trust anyone and if you listen to what everyone says, more often than not it doesn't happen. So when I'm told 'so-and-so are interested' or 'such-and-such have done this' I don't get caught up in it all.
