I didn't know Ian Smith myself!
I don't feel comfortable with the kind of celebrity that has come my way - and I'm not very good at it, either.
I don't really want to be the centre of attention.
I enjoy training so much, sometimes I don't want it to stop.
I get burnt in the sun, so there's no point me getting pecs for when I take my shirt off in the summer.
I had come across a few sports psychologists, and I had no time for nearly all of them. I just don't think they work in a team environment.
I had massive admiration for lots of players. Richard Hill would be up there, along with Martin Johnson.
I have ambitions to set records which will be hard to chase down, like getting more than 100 caps for Ireland.
I have interests outside of rugby and have been cultivating them for when I do decide to hang up the boots.
I just want to concentrate on my rugby and enjoy it and live in the moment.
I need to worry about the things that I am in control of.
I still get a great buzz from rugby.
