Kalvin Phillips admits he would not be able to live with himself if he ended up in the media for the wrong reasons.
The Leeds United midfielder's step up to the England squad this season has seen him playing alongside players who have been involved in off-the-field incidents recently.
Harry Maguire put in a nightmare performance in Wednesday's defeat to Denmark, which some arguing the defender is in need of a rest after hitting the headlines following an arrest in Greece over the summer.
Phil Foden and Mason Greenwood were also sent home from the first international break of the season after breaching coronavirus restrictions.
England trio Tammy Abraham, Ben Chilwell and Jadon Sancho then missed last week's friendly against Wales after attending a party that breached the rule of six.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Phillips said it is easy to get in the headlines for the wrong reasons but he understands the responsibilities on his shoulders as an England player.
He said: "Obviously you've got the representation of England on your shoulders now.
"So, if I ever make a mistake, which I hope I don't, then I've got to represent the country in a certain way which I've got to be professional about.
"I just feel like that even with Leeds as Leeds is my club and I don't want to disappoint anybody, especially my family.
"I don't think I'd be able to live with me sen if I did something out of nature of what I am.
"It's the same with England, there's been a lot of stuff flying around in the media and it's easy to happen.
"Stuff happens like that but luckily I'm on the good side and try not to do anything like that."
Phillips was full of praise for how his new international teammates had welcomed him into the England set-up and admitted the situation was slightly surreal.
He said: "It's weird as obviously some of the lads were talking about the World Cup and stuff like that and I was sat at home in my living room, watching.
"Marcus Rashford was on about watching it on the bench and I was like, well I was sat on my sofa.
"It's just weird, all the big shots like Harry Kane and stuff like that, but they're all just normal people.
"They all treat you like you're one of their own.
"Treat you like a normal person, which is good and makes it easier for me to come in and do my job."
