I never regret making a decision.

I'll never be too big for anything.

I was born in a house without a light or a toilet, so why would I forget who I am or where I come from?

I have a bad reputation in England, and I don't know why. Maybe it's something that has just followed me. But one thing I always say is that 90% of the people I've played with would say I'm an amazing guy, a great teammate. Other people, those who work on the gate at every stadium I've played at, will tell you I am a humble guy and a nice person.

Money is killing football: people are making their decisions based on money.

I have never said I would leave Arsenal.

I want to be part of a club that is aiming to be one of the biggest in the world.

My father worked in currency exchange, and my mother is a businesswoman.

I know what it is to have nothing.

He gave me the chance to be where I am today, and He's the one that can take it all away from me. So at the team hotel, I pray before sleeping, and I pray again in the morning.

It's football - fans are passionate about it, and sometimes it's difficult for players to take, but we are good men, and we all make mistakes, and we are footballers.

I went through a lot of good moments in Arsenal and a lot of difficult moments as well.

My father always told me to be myself and say what you think is the right thing; sometimes you pay the consequences, but it means tomorrow will be a happy day for you.

Whenever I have a chance to wake up and be alive, I always thank God for that, and for me, all the rest is a bonus.

If one player can say that I, Emmanuel Adebayor, spoke badly to anyone in the changing rooms, then I'd honestly like to know who it is. It has never happened in my life.

Winning is good but is better when it becomes a means of hope and positive change in the lives of those who are deprived.

My fitness is one area I've never had questioned in my career.

I'm very happy to have been a player who played for Arsenal, because the fans were always great to me - the manager, everyone, the players - and if I can just wish them the best of luck. They know, no matter what happened, they will always be in my heart because I love the club.

All I want to do is win titles.

When a family is poor, everyone is poor, and there is huge solidarity. People will take a bullet for you. But when one makes it, it is like you owe everyone.

You want to play against the best defenders and the best teams. You want to test yourself.

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.

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

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