It's about being steady and taking the rough with the smooth, but that's life as a goalkeeper.
There is no coincidence that stability brings success, and success brings stability.
The Premiership is where you want to be; everyone does. Otherwise, you question people's ambition.
I want to walk away from football when I retire and say, 'I gave that everything,' and then I will do something else and give that everything, because that's me. That's the way I am, and I will do that.
For over a decade, I had played every week, so to then have a season when you are not - that physical and mental high when you build up to a game and come down afterwards - was missing. It takes a while to adjust and is quite confusing.
When the assessment of goalkeepers is made by people who have never actually stood there in a game and experienced it, then it's hard to take it without a large pinch of salt.
Not playing is frustrating; you want to play in every game. But it's the life of a keeper. You'd rather be on the pitch than off.
In international football, chances don't come along very often.
I've been in teams that have struggled and been relegated.
With goalkeepers, when a team looks for a keeper, it looks for someone with experience.
You take records with a pinch of salt. Take Usain Bolt: someone will be quicker than him one day. These things aren't important.
A special thank you must go to my mum and dad and entire family for your unwavering support. It means so much for them to have followed and watched nearly all my games, sharing my highs and lows.
It is not something I ever envisaged doing when I set out - thinking, 'Oh yeah, I'd love to be a third-choice keeper' - but your situation changes as your career goes on.
You want to be paid. It is your job. It is like anyone else turning up at an office.
I have been around football a long time and know a lot about it, so if I have an opinion and don't voice it, then it is a bit of a waste.
Eventually, I'd like to have some sort of role like a chief executive in a football club.
When I first started playing at Norwich, West Brom were in the Championship, got promoted, got relegated, got promoted, got relegated, and all the time, they were building until they eventually stayed up.
If you walked into my house, there wouldn't be one thing to do with football in there.
You see people with a room full of their career achievements. Brilliant. Well done. That's just not something I do. They're in a bin bag in my mum and dad's loft.
I don't know; the gravity of playing football - you can't lose the comparison of other stuff. If you do, and football is the only thing, it becomes too serious.
