“I eat football, I sleep football. I am not mad I am just passionate.”

Politicians are there to try to deal with stuff, but sometimes it’s both fortunate and unfortunate that people like us have more… not involvement, but more power in the stuff that we say.

And I don’t watch cricket. How can you like a game that requires you to take four days off work to follow a Test?

In New York it seems like there’s no Monday or Saturday or Sunday. The town is always moving. The vibe is great.

I don’t like to plan anything.

I’m obsessed by the idea of making my mark on history. And Arsenal is my paradise.

My dad always taught me to never be satisfied, to want more and know that what is done is done.

Being seen as the best striker in Europe doesn’t spur me on-it’s helping my team to success. That’s my only aim. I’m not a machine.

When I go home, sometimes, even when I had an amazing game, I always think about what I missed.

I like to score a proper goal, you know – a passing move.

You learn from your mistakes.

It’s not about me, it’s about how I can help my team to achieve more. And I do that through scoring goals.

It’s difficult to talk about Pele because I didn’t see him.

I may be French, but I’m playing for Arsenal.

And I don’t really like golf. I know a lot of English footballers play, but I know that if I go with the club to play, sooner or later I will end up trying to smash the ball with my foot.

I have to say that when I was young, when any politician was talking I wasn’t even interested. Maybe they were saying some nice stuff, but then if you put Michael Jordan on TV, I was interested!

I’ll never forget the club or him I don’t see Arsenal without Arsene Wenger.

Renew every day your conversation with God: Do this even in preference to eating. Think more often of God than you breathe.

When having a smackerel of something with a friend, don’t eat so much that you get stuck in the doorway trying to get out.

I have no doubt that it is part of the destiny of the human race in it’s gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals.

I tried every diet in the book. I tried some that weren’t in the book. I tried eating the book. It tasted better than most of the diets.

A man of my spiritual intensity does not eat corpses.

If I had a superpower it would have to be being able to eat whatever you want and stay skinny.

I never eat salad. I make sure I don’t put a lot of junk into my system, but I hate vegetables!

If someone were to harm my family or a friend or somebody I love, I would eat them. I might end up in jail for 500 years, but I would eat them.
