You learn from your mistakes.

I don't like to plan anything.

I am not a cheat and never have been.

It is important for me to feel at home.

There's nothing I'm scared of in football.

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

Sometimes in football you have to score goals.

The moment I've got a ball at my feet, I'm happy.

But the moment I've got a ball at my feet, I'm happy.

So few people recognize me, I can do what anyone does.

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

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

People are talking about me more than they talk about Eastenders.

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

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

I can't stay in the box and wait for the ball. I can't - I would die.

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

I hope you have enjoyed watching as much as I have enjoyed taking part.

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

No, because retiring is stopping. If I wanted to stop, I would have stopped.

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

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

I'm still young and everyday I want to learn more. I feel I am beginning to find myself.

To say that my dad pushed me is an understatement. I was never naturally drawn to football.

What I believe is this: Catalunya is not Spain, it is something else and you have to feel it.

When I was younger I was trying to do what I wanted to do, not what the game wanted me to do.

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

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

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

When you look at other sports, like golf, the players earn a lot more money without running around.

A lot of different races and nationalities play football, so it is a good way to try and stop racism.

I can’t think of a striker in the world who has scored so many important goals, never mind a midfielder.

What Leo does is so incredible that I have to be careful not to stand still watching him make his moves.

But, at the moment, when I step on the pitch, when I have the ball I know it's mine. It's just a feeling.

What makes the difference between a great player and just a normal player is dedication, work, commitment.

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

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

I've followed the NBA religiously since I was a kid, and now because of my boy Tony Parker, I'm a huge Spurs fan.

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?

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

Sometimes being young and confident is better than being old with experience...when I was young I wasn't scared about anything

There are many things I want, and the only way I will get them is to keep my head down, listen to the right people and work hard

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.

I have the possibility to watch Messi in training each morning, and because of what he demonstrates he is the best player in the world

In football you always get judged on your last game. Whoever you are, or how amazing you are, it's the last game that everyone has seen.

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.

You can never have enough trophies. If there were ten to be won a year I'd want to win them all! That's not being greedy, it's just a natural thing.

I always have a football handy at home, and I'll play with it. Sometimes it'll get on my wife's nerves. But the moment I've got a ball at my feet, I'm happy.

But one thing you need to do in the game, is to adapt and adjust your game to what you have been asked to do and also to what your body is telling you to do.
