As a child, you are influenced by your parents' actions.

We all play football to get money.

I'm from Africa, and I have to give something back to my community. You all know that I've been doing a lot of charity stuff without knocking at any door. I'm taking my own wages to do it, and I will keep doing it until the end of my career.

It's always a pleasure to have a manager give you compliments.

When you are playing in front of your own crowd, you want them to support you.

I have never criticised Tottenham fans.

A player playing with confidence is better than a player playing with doubt in his head.

Saluting a goal in front of the fans is one of the most beautiful moments in a player's life.

We are all human beings. We all go through a lot at certain times of our lives.

I always love the fans.

Football is a funny game. Today, you are zero; tomorrow, you are a hero.

Things haven't always gone right for me in football.

My relationship with Pochettino was beautiful. I think we have a very, very good relationship, with man-to-man conversations.

I enjoyed my time at White Hart Lane, and I can't say thank you enough to the Spurs fans.

In life, there are always ups and downs, and I had them at Tottenham.

Dele Alli is a player with huge potential to be one of the best midfielders in the world.

As a footballer, you still have to dream.

Sometimes you have to be dirty to win some games.

Sometimes you have to forget about playing beautiful football and just make sure you win.

All I can say is I am a footballer, and if a club like Milan are interested in me, then I cannot lie to you: I am happy, because it is Milan.

I cannot do a better job than a journalist. I cannot do a better job than politicians - what I can do is play my football.

When you score 30 goals in a season, you can expect that the following year there will be a little bit more pressure and attention on you.

It hurts when you are at a club you loved, a place where you think you might want to end your career, and things go badly.

There is only so much abuse a man can take until he reaches breaking point.

You know, us in Africa, all what we know, all what we dream about is football. Because when I was young, all what I tried to do, all what I had a chance to watch on TV was football.

In Spain, people understand football is a fun game, and enjoyment comes first. After that, business follows.

There are only a few players who play in the same team all their career. You come from somewhere and go somewhere else.

When you see me on the pitch, I will always be smiling, always laughing, always playing jokes. I grew up as somebody who was always laughing. In England, people will tell me that I should not laugh, but you cannot stop me from laughing. It's impossible.

I'm full of confidence. I know what I can do, and when I'm not playing, I'm not happy.

I played for Arsenal for more than three years, and I had fantastic moments. Maybe they made me one of the best strikers in the world, because under Arsene Wenger, I learned a lot of things - but you have to move on.

I need a manager who will tell me to go out and play my own game and enjoy myself.

When politics is no longer a mission but a profession, politicians become more self-serving than public servants.

Modernity is disruptive, and I endorse that.

I will fight with all my power against the divisions that undermine us and which are tearing us apart.

Without investment, you cannot have jobs.

We need people who dream impossible things, who maybe fail, sometimes succeed, but in any case who have that ambition.

Believe in individual initiatives, in courage, in risk.

We're not isolated from the world. The world knocks on our door.

I am not just a liberal movement. I come from the progressive Left. I am trying to refresh and counter the system.

I don't want a tailor-made approach where the British have the best of two worlds. That will be too big an incentive for others to leave and kill the European idea, which is based on shared responsibilities.

I don't have luxurious tastes or great needs, but my independence is worth a lot to me.

To create greater convergence, we need more intergration.

Globalization can be a great opportunity.

I touched the limits of our political system, which pushes one to last-minute compromises. Explanations are rarely given. It plays to people's fears because it hasn't built an ideological consensus. It produces flawed solutions and too often ignores reality.

To avoid the trap of Europe fragmenting on the economy, security, and identity, we have to return to the original promises of the European project: peace, prosperity and freedom. We should have a real, adult, democratic debate about the Europe we want.

My key message is be innovative, be ambitious; think global and big on day one.

A Left that does nothing achieves nothing.

Through work, education, and culture, I will give hope to our country.

I want to become the president of all the people of France - the president of the patriots in the face of the threat from the nationalists.

Historically speaking, the French economy was largely driven by the demand side.
