I have decided to come back for Les Bleus.

I have never had the opportunity to play in England, so I know little about it.

I have decided to come back for Les Bleus.

I have a need to play intensely every day, to fight every match hard.

We are well aware of the task ahead of us in what will be a very difficult match but which we all dream of playing.

I am first of all from La Castellane and Marseille.

I don't know if we are the best team in the world. I am lucky to be playing alongside some of the best players around. It's a dream.

I have no message.

The England team must always be respected. They always fight to the end.

Music was important. Football was the easy part.

The only important thing I have to say is that my father never fought against his country.

I was lucky to come from a difficult area. It teaches you not just about football but also life. There were lots of kids from different races and poor families. People had to struggle to get through the day.

To be recognised by a whole country is incredible. This is massive.

We were a family who had come from nothing and now we had respect from French people of all sorts.

A Mediterranean city is really my culture.

I love Madrid. I am happy to be here. I have been here three years and hope to be here longer. But I am proud of where I come from and never forget the people I grew up with.

I'm very inspired by him-it was my father who taught us that an immigrant must work twice as hard as anybody else, that he must never give up.

I may have had a lot of luck in my life, but I still need to find a challenge in the game.

It's the first time it's happened to me and maybe the last. It's a strange sensation, not normal for me. I can't remember scoring three goals, even when I was a kid.

My passion for the game comes from the city of Marseille itself. Unfortunately I can't go back there as much I want to because I play a lot here and abroad.

We must not let ourselves get driven off course, no matter what happens we must stick to our natural game.

We'll do it, we'll do it.

It will be a physical encounter but we must not respond in kind.

I am proud of where I come from and never forget the people I grew up with. Wherever I go, La Castellane is where I want to go back to.

I have won many awards and I am very happy about this, but I am not the best player in the world.

I think Marseille is probably a place like Liverpool, very vibrant and very tough.

It doesn't matter how many times you win an award, it is always very special.

It was my father who taught us that an immigrant must work twice as hard as anybody else, that he must never give up.

Life is full of regrets, but it doesn't pay to look back.

My memories of events and games are fragmented.

Real Madrid is the most important thing that happened to me, both as a footballer and as a person.

Sometimes words are harder than blows.

The door can never be closed for good to any player.

There are evil people, and I don't even want to hear those guys speak.

To be recognised by a whole country is incredible.

Part of freedom is the right of each of us to go to hell in his own fashion.

When I talk about God, I'm not necessarily talking about religion. To me, God is the energy and light that each of us carries.

We're actually building onto the house to make it bigger because we want to start a family.

There is more in us than we know. If we can be made to see it, perhaps, for the rest of our lives, we will be unwilling to settle for less.

There are not enough people out talking about the President positively.

The story and the characters of 'Girl Online' are mine.

Except for me, no one in my family could draw.

On stage, the audience watches from a fixed viewpoint and the director cannot retake something he doesn't like. It has to work straight through.

Grit is that extra something that separates the most successful people from the rest. Its the passion perseverance and stamina that we must channel in order to stick with our dreams until they become a reality.

I am influenced by books which don't have their eye on the endgame, but which try to be entertaining on each and every page.

There's nothing like turning on the radio and listening to the high-speed chase that you're leading police on!

Write yourself a permission slip to be surprised by someone's potential. Who knows? One day that person could be you.

The challenge is not to replace Obama but with who. It's not enough to just change up the uniform, if we don't change the team and the game plan, we won't save our country.

To state the facts frankly is not to despair the future nor indict the past. The prudent heir takes careful inventory of his legacies and gives a faithful accounting to those whom he owes an obligation of trust.
