I was told MTV VJs have no career after MTV, and I'm like, that's never going to be me. I was always about not feeding into the negativity and proving to people that I can do more than one thing.
I've been fighting my whole career to show a different side and prove naysayers - not prove them wrong, because I don't think you should get your energy from negative people.
I always used the media - if people were having a go I could use it as motivation to prove them wrong.
The biggest thing is becoming a better player and proving your doubters wrong.
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.
I know, if I am playing well, I can be as good as anyone, and I want to show people who write you off and forget about you.
Look at Romelu Lukaku. He has scored the most goals in the league, even though some doubted him. He has proved everyone wrong. I am trying to go down that path myself, proving every doubter wrong.
I think I've finally proven something to people who were cynical about me. Because they were cruel.
My main thing is to prove all the doubters wrong.
