“I only deal in what is real. To be honest, I’ve never thought about what I could get out of football or where it would take me. I just wanted to play. I’m the same now.”

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.

Sometimes in football you have to score goals.

That’s the way I’ve been educated: I always think about what I missed and the things that you did, you did them, so you don’t have to think about them any more.

So many people say that obviously my game has changed since I arrived here and I say that it’s good that it changed, otherwise it would show a lack of intelligence.

We all love the first Rocky, but I’m not too sure about the last one.

Barcelona is always a club that, at the beginning of the season, wants to win everything. I will try my best to do that with them and I’m sure I will help as much as I can.

Trixie Mattel is a product of bad things that happened to me, and it’s how I deal with things. It’s wonderful.

It’s a war zone, my body, and one which has been through a great deal.

We should deal with each other sensitively; our attitude towards life affects how we act in our relationships.

The hardest thing to cope with is not selfishness or vanity or deceitfulness, but sheer stupidity.

Learners inherit the earth; while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.

The interest of the dealers, however, in any particular branch of trade or manufactures, is always in some respects different from, and even opposite to, that of the public. To widen the market and to narrow the competition, is always the interest of the dealers.

He who gives up shyness in monetary dealings, in acquiring knowledge, in eating and in business, becomes happy.

Whatever obstacle comes your way, you gotta be prepared to jump over it! And I think that’s what separates the legends from the regular artists. It’s all in how you manage that success, and how you deal with the controversy when it actually comes.
