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

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

Politicians are there to try to deal with stuff, but sometimes it's both fortunate and unfortunate that people like us have more... not involvement, but more power in the stuff that we say.

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

At the beginning, you are 20 and you can just imagine... don't get me wrong, but having money. Then you realise that it's not only about you and what you are doing but that you have to give back.

I am a believer in passing the ball on the ground, I was lucky to be part of teams like that at Arsenal, with the French national team and with Monaco and at Barcelona. I know you can win in other ways, but I believe that is the way football should be played.

I don't like to plan anything.
