When you grow up in the Premier League and grown up watching it, nothing else compares.

In England, we're arrogant to everything else.

I don't really like too much credit. I know nobody's going to believe this, but I'd rather be able to score goals and nobody saw or even spoke about it. That would be just about the perfect world for me.

Growing up, I wasn't a big guy; I struggled to hold on to the ball.

I feel like I'm quick enough, and on my day, I can be dangerous in the box.

I'm not too complicated. I don't think I'm great on the eye. I work hard. I try to outwork defenders, and that's it.

I like to get in the box and finish.

I'm a retired MC.

I always liked fashion. I like to dress up on days off - the weekend and go out - I have a friend that worked in a hat shop in Soho, and he came to me and asked me to design a logo and a hat. I did and I showed it to him and he loved it.

I always wanted to score goals, but sometimes I've scored and been terrible and other times I felt I played well and didn't score. I looked at the statsheet the season where I scored 27 goals and I had one assist and was frustrated.

In England, your manager is like a boss.

It gives you confidence when you see new players coming in, it makes you think something is happening at the club.

I remember at Man City when you saw people like Andy Cole walk through the door, you start thinking: 'We can get into Europe.'

My dad tells me to ignore any expectation.

I have to be myself.

I'm the type of guy who gets on the end of things. I need to work on my heading and sometimes my concentration is poor but you need someone to finish off moves.

It never surprises me how good Shaun is. Even the coaches are surprised by the things he does and I can understand why. He can strike the ball so hard, yet his legs are only about 12 inches long. But I've been watching him do things like that ever since we were kids. I know what he's capable of.

When we were younger we were always at it and, as much as I hate to admit it, Shaun would always win.

When I'm out with Shaun people will come up to him for five minutes, sometimes longer, and as they're leaving they'll say: 'Oh, you must be, erm, Bradley.' I don't mind at all.

Of course, I won't lie - I like to break records.

I put a lot of work into what I do.

As long as I'm playing well, I'm happy, and happy playing anywhere.

I have relatives in New York.

I say this every time I get interviewed, I just try to get my shots on target. If they go in, they go in.

I think growing up in England strikers are hungry to just get goals. We have a mean streak in us. We like to get goals.

Every striker from England I know is the same; they're greedy and they want to get goals.

Every striker wants his midfielders to do well. If they play well, more than likely, I'll play well.

When you're playing against a European side, you want to show that we can play too. You want to prove MLS is a good league when you're playing against those teams.

If you're going to score, you're going to score.

I'm not aggressive enough.

I grew up watching Arsenal. You don't think you're going to get to play with Thierry Henry. Him breaking my dad's record and now he assists half my goals, it's weird. How'd that happen?

I'm laid back.

I try to do what I can to help the team.

I hate to go into games thinking about goals.

At the end of the season, goals - they don't matter.

The only thing that matters is the MLS Cup.

Sometimes I feel like you can toot your own trumpet too much. I don't really like that.

I'm not really a big fan of doing interviews.

I like to just be humble. The more interviews, the more embarrassed I kind of get.

I just try to keep my game simple and just get chances. I try to stay on the defender's shoulder, run behind because they don't like it and when I get an opportunity, I shoot. If it goes in one day, it goes in. If it doesn't another day, it doesn't.

The MLS Cup is always the goal. If we don't win that, it's always a disappointment and we haven't won. No matter how well you do in the regular season, it's always seen as a failure.

We like to play with a chip on our shoulder.

I'm awkward under the limelight.

I don't choose to be humble.

When people say I don't get recognition, it doesn't matter. If I'm scoring, what does it mean? If I'm still playing well and I'm still helping my team, I don't care who thinks I'm amazing or who doesn't.

I'd rather go under the radar and win an MLS Cup. I really don't need to be credited.

There are strikers all over the world who wouldn't get the goals if they didn't have a creative midfielder or someone that enjoys making assists.

Where I'm from, everyone wore tracksuits. If I was younger and I got a new tracksuit, hat, trainers, you couldn't tell me I didn't look good.

If I was younger and I got a new tracksuit, hat, trainers, you couldn't tell me I didn't look good. I thought I was dressed up.

I am always going to play the same way I always have.
