“I would love this place to be my garden. (on Arsenal’s old stadium)”

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.

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.

Quite simply, it is true that I can be a pig! It is not a lie to say that. Sometimes, I feel that I am in the right even when I am wrong.

I always think about what I missed, and I think that was my driving force – never be satisfied with what I’ve done.

I take the ball, I go wide, I cross, I shoot, but when the moment beckons, I am ready to make the difference.

Everybody knows how much I love Arsenal – I became a fan. And to be out here celebrating a goal against Tottenham, there’s not much else to say after thatLike I’ve said before, Once a Gooner, always a Gooner.

It was tough at the time but when I was younger, my Dad. I would say my Dad, because without him I wouldn’t have been here. I mean it was tough for me because he was really demanding. With him, it was never enough, you know, anything I did was never enough.

A world without a Sabbath would be like a man without a smile, like summer without flowers, and like a homestead without a garden. It is the most joyous day of the week.

I am good at only two things, and those are gardening and painting.

Storms can ruin gardens, but that doesn’t mean you won’t see flowers again.

Apart from painting and gardening, I’m not good at anything.

I actually have a punching bag right outside in my garden.

My garden is my most beautiful masterpiece

Gardening was something I learned in my youth when I was unhappy. I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.

I work at my garden all the time and with love. What I need most are flowers, always. My heart is forever in Giverny.
