Quotes from Bradley Wright-Phillips

For me, it's just a decision I made at home with my wife that I'm not eating meat.

We strikers, when we're scoring, we're confident, and we'll try and hit anything.

If you stop me from scoring, and I don't do anything else, then I've not really played well, have I? You can't score every game, so what are you doing if you're not scoring?

Obviously when you're a striker you need to score. The manager's not going to just play you if you're not scoring.

I'm awkward under the limelight.

If you don't win the MLS Cup it doesn't matter, so we know that the big one is the MLS Cup and we'll give our all to win it.

In England, your manager is like a boss.

Growing up all I wanted to do was score goals and celebrate with fans - somewhere in that I got lost. Football came second and it shouldn't have.

We like to play with a chip on our shoulder.

It never surprises me how good Shaun is. Even the coaches are surprised by the things he does and I can understand why. He can strike the ball so hard, yet his legs are only about 12 inches long. But I've been watching him do things like that ever since we were kids. I know what he's capable of.

I don't like to go through games not doing anything and then getting a goal. Obviously that's my job as a striker, but I feel almost wasted. I want to do more.

When you grow up in the Premier League and grown up watching it, nothing else compares.

I'm lucky enough to play with great players.

I loved Plymouth and my time there because it helped me get my life back on track and I started scoring goals. But when I went there, it's not a place you dream of playing. It's not the team you dream of playing for. And you know when you're there, if you don't score goals or play well you're going down there and down from Plymouth is not pretty.

In my career I haven't been suspended much.

I always liked fashion. I like to dress up on days off - the weekend and go out - I have a friend that worked in a hat shop in Soho, and he came to me and asked me to design a logo and a hat. I did and I showed it to him and he loved it.

I just try to keep my game simple and just get chances. I try to stay on the defender's shoulder, run behind because they don't like it and when I get an opportunity, I shoot. If it goes in one day, it goes in. If it doesn't another day, it doesn't.

I'm not too complicated. I don't think I'm great on the eye. I work hard. I try to outwork defenders, and that's it.

I'm realistic. I look for my own target that I set in my head beginning of the season. Once I get there, that's when I start enjoying scoring.

It's all fun and games when you're scoring goals but there will be a time when I'm not and I just have to try and keep doing the same things. Hit the target and, you know, see what happens at the end of the game.

I say this every time I get interviewed, I just try to get my shots on target. If they go in, they go in.

The MLS Cup is always the goal. If we don't win that, it's always a disappointment and we haven't won. No matter how well you do in the regular season, it's always seen as a failure.

I get my protein, I get everything I need, I don't feel like I'm missing on anything.

I always wanted to score goals, but sometimes I've scored and been terrible and other times I felt I played well and didn't score. I looked at the statsheet the season where I scored 27 goals and I had one assist and was frustrated.
