If players are performing for you, their age shouldn't really matter, especially because the older players can bring their experience to the table.

I'm happy here, and why change when you love the club and the club's in a really good position right now.

- Frank Lampard

Training's completely different now. It used to be a lot of running and work without the ball. Now it's all with the ball, which any player loves.

If I ever have a son, I would call him Frankie, and it's a family name - it's my dad and my dad's dad, so you know, it sticks. I won't forget it.

- Frank Lampard

I'm like everyone else: I want to play every game, but it's not possible.

I don't think Wayne Rooney would be affected if you booed him, that's just how he is, but others go under. They really suffer with it. I think I'm somewhere in the middle... now. I've become tougher as I've got older.

My dad shaped the footballing side of me, and Mum shaped me as a person. I've always been very close to her - we've only ever had one argument, and that was over something stupid when I was 13.

- Frank Lampard

I'm really happy here. I think anyone who knows me well, and the fans too I hope, they know that I love the area, and the bond that I've had with the fans has been fantastic.

I admit I was somewhat concerned when we started to sign so many players - naturally you are going to worry about whether you can retain your place in the side.

In international football, you need pace and you need your players up top to create things out of nothing and run at people.

Reading and writing is so important, and it's something I am really keen to promote. It's something that can be a bit lost these days with so much else going on.

- Frank Lampard

I'm not the kind of player to see out my time and sit with my bum on the bench too much. I want to be involved. That's my character.

- Frank Lampard

I'm not silly. I understand that, with age and at different parts of your career, you have different challenges.

- Frank Lampard

I think I work harder on the pitch, I cover more ground and my passing is more accurate.

For present buying, I go to Harrods because there are great personal shoppers, who point me in the right direction.

- Frank Lampard

There's that talent thing where I can score goals, and there's also that want and ambition to keep doing it and doing it and doing it. I've seen a lot of players do it for a year and then they rest on their laurels, but I've been very driven throughout my career. Without being the most talented, I think I've tried to make the most of it.

- Frank Lampard

People can talk about my age for as long as they like. There is nothing better in football than proving people wrong, and I'll try to do that for as long as I can.

Of course, there will be few people who are sympathetic but you don't become a great team overnight, no matter how much money you have at your disposal.

I loved reading Roald Dahl when I was young but I had forgotten a lot about the books. I read the 'BFG' on the iPad the other day and it was so interesting to see his descriptions of clothes and places.

- Frank Lampard

I don't know if we'd have been as dominant as we were last season. The new things, the new ideas the manager brought in everyone took them on board so well. He is special.
