I always set myself new goals. I always want to do better than I did in the past. I always want to achieve things I never achieved before.

I have a passion for fast cars. To drive them means pure joy to me.

[ Won the 2015 African Player of the Year]meant everything to me. It was the first time a footballer from Gabon was elected Africa's Footballer of the Year. Even for the Bundesliga, it was something no African player had ever achieved. It still makes me incredibly proud and the happiest person on the planet.

I've worked really hard on getting into the box more and being closer to the goal, which I think has brought real benefits to my game. It's definitely improved my goal scoring.

First and foremost, we have to focus on what we're doing and not worry about what Bayern - or any other clubs - are doing.

There are a lot of things to like about [Borussia Dortmund's fans] and the city of Dortmund as a whole.I like their honesty. And I like that my family and I can feel safe here. I don' t have to worry at all about my safety and their and my own safety. Believe me, in other countries I have made different experiences in that regard. All of this, too, has led to my decision to extend my contract until 2020, and I can imagine staying even longer.

The moment my name was called [Africa's Footballer of the Year] was truly overwhelming and I was about to scream with joy.
