The Holland international, who is set to play in his country's Euro 2012 qualifier against Hungary on Tuesday evening, has dismissed reports at the weekend he will consider his future with the Toffees in the summer.
"Of course, I want to play. I always want to play and especially here at Everton, where I am delighted with the way the supporters have taken to me," said the 27-year-old World Cup runner-up.
"I am like every footballer - I want to play regularly and I get frustrated when I am not able to play and help the team.
"The manager can only select 11 players to start each game and I am like every other professional footballer in that I want to be in the team.
"I have confidence in my own ability in the same way as the other players do at Everton. Every player thinks he should be playing and every player thinks he's better than the competition. If you don't then it shows a lack of self-belief."
