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

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.

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.

I can’t stay in the box and wait for the ball. I can’t – I would die.

People always see the goals, and for me, strikers are not only about scoring goals.

There is no obstacle too great, no challenge too difficult, if we have faith.

All our difficulties are only platforms for the manifestations of His grace, power and love.

While unbelief sees the difficulties, faith sees God between itself and them.

I wish to live without hate, whim, jealousy, envy, and fear. I wish to be simple, honest, frank, natural . . to face any obstacle and meet every difficulty unabashed and unafraid.

It is difficult to maintain the illusion that we are interpreting a Constitution, rather than inventing one.

As the CEO running my life, running Meghan Trainor, I have to say ‘no’ to things all the time, and it’s been very uncomfortable and very difficult. I’ve said ‘no’ and it’s actually worked – even when I never thought it would work.

Over the years they both reached the same wise conclusion by different paths: it was not possible to live together in any other way, or love in any other way, and nothing in this world was more difficult than love.

Souls generally do not fall away from Christ because of the Creed; they first have difficulty with the Commandments.
