That's my mentality. Just because somebody has fouled me, there is no reason for me to be nasty to him. I try to respect football as much as possible, and when someone is injured, you put the ball out.

It never became an obsession for me to score at all costs. I've always said that I'm not a big scorer, I'm a worker.

I played without fear. I've done that since I first kicked a ball in my back garden as a five-year-old, whether it's been my first game, my 100th game, or my 500th game.

We are professionals. We know when we're playing badly, so if you have a poor game, you work in training to put things right so form comes back.

You mustn't smile when you lose. You have to be sad like other people. You have to win every game.

My first trophy in France was the Young Player of the Year. I was 17. Chelsea is not just one player. It is not only me. We have signed a lot of players. Now we have some good signings like Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa.

Why change? If you're happy, and things are going really well at one place, there is no need to change.

If I ever leave, it'll be after winning a championship. You need to go out on a high so that people remember you for the right reasons.

Sometimes you don't play well or you don't score, and in those times, the pressure comes from all around you as well as from yourself.

As a striker, people look at the goals you score. But for me, my game is more than just about goals, it is how you link with other players.

In life, everything is possible. If you believe and have faith in yourself, then it can happen.

Sometimes you need a special player to do something out of the ordinary.

I am a relaxed guy. I play that way, and I can't change my style. I watch games and see guys who panic on the ball - they look so nervous. I can be calm, because I sometimes know what I want to do before the ball comes to me.

Everything I do, I want it to be perfect. I know it can't be like that every time - but that is my aim.

Half the people might like me - the other half might not. But throughout my life, I have had high expectations for myself - so I just try to make the non-believers into believers.

I am the happiest guy around; trust me.

I am a realistic type of guy. I am my biggest critic.

When you're young, you're cocky.

For me, it was the right decision to go to United, because going to the top of the mountain was my dream, especially when you come from Eastern Europe, from a small town, and no one's done it before you.

You want to feel special as a striker; you want to be the main guy, and you know, if the coach wants you, he's going to be good for you.

You always want to run before you can walk.

I always tend to think my goals are beautiful goals. That is what I want to score - beautiful goals - and create beautiful chances.

I don't want to show my emotions in public.

I don't like to show my weaknesses.
