good hard people respect since visiting worked york
I've always loved New York; I've been visiting New York since 1996. People don't look at you like, 'What are you doing? What are you wearing?' There is also that thing that when people know that you have worked hard to get something, people have that respect for that here. You worked hard - good for you.
people
So few people recognize me, I can do what anyone does.
talking people talking-about-me
People are talking about me more than they talk about Eastenders.
people trying stuff
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.
games people changed
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.
people goal scoring-goals
People always see the goals, and for me, strikers are not only about scoring goals.
hard-work people want
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
handy home moment
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.
amazing french-athlete
So when I go home, sometimes, even when I had an amazing game, I always think about what I missed.
love player sign sort
I am always honest, and I am not the sort of player to say, 'Oh, I love Arsenal' and then sign for someone else. I think if I was unhappy, I would say that, but I'm not. I do love Arsenal.
ball club days english follow four later requires smash sooner trying watch work
The only thing I won't watch is darts. 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? 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.
ball
But the moment I've got a ball at my feet, I'm happy.
love
I am more than proud to be European. I love Europe, I love France, but I have an American mentality, and I don't know why. The way I see things, the way I talk, I'm the kind of person who, if I want to say something, I will say it - sometimes in Europe, it's not always what you need to do.
followed huge since tony
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.
