I was not born with a golden spoon in my mouth.

Ozil is a genius. He has one-of-a-kind vision for the game. He has two eyes in the front of his head and two eyes in the back.

I know, everywhere I go, I have the door open because I am a great footballer and a great person.

You can insult me - you can judge me on the football pitch - that's normal. But don't touch my family. Don't touch my parents. I love them more than everything on this earth.

We all have to fight through our mistakes to become a better man.

There is nothing more important for me than God.

I did not walk for the first four years of my life.

Everything I do in life I put in the hands of God, my creator.

If I regret leaving City, I'd regret leaving Madrid, I would regret Arsenal, and I would regret maybe even Metz, where I started off. So I have no regrets in life; life is too short to start regretting things.
