It would be very good news for the Premier League if Zidane moved to England.

When you are an ex-footballer you want to stay with the one team and one club, and Arsenal is my club.

For me, the best thing about being a footballer is that indescribable feeling when you are on a pitch doing your job. I don't know what to say - it's what I love.

Mourinho could train anyone. He is great.

When you play for Arsenal you have to try to win all competitions.

Mbappe always performs whether that's in Ligue 1, Champions League or with the France national team.

Playing for FC Goa was a great experience for me.

I never expected to adapt so quickly, but if you are a foreigner it's up to you to adapt to English football because you can't change it. I think I've achieved something in the way I adapted.

You cannot compare the way someone plays for a club and for a national team. At a club, you spend every day with the same players. In a national team, you are with your team-mates for only a few days.

When people ask me the best player I played with, I always say Dennis Bergkamp. He just had so much class.

When you haven't played for more than six months, scoring is the ultimate pleasure. It's ecstasy.

Zico is a great manager and he knows the game perfectly.

Zidane was a leader and a strong character.

For me, the goals were not important, but instead to lift some silverware at the end of the season. That is the objective for a footballer.

It was a pleasure to play under Arsene Wenger. He was a great manager and I personally thank him for everything as he brought a new philosophy to the Premier League.

If you play in France, Spain or Italy it is not the same football, especially when you play in England. Every game is very difficult.

I love F1, the cars and the speed.

In Spain, we always talk about Madrid and Barca for the title and that is normal because they are the two teams with the most history.

Diego Simeone is a great manager.

I love Villarreal. They are closer to my heart than any other club in Spain.

I think Mbappe will win the Ballon d'Or, there's no doubt about that.

Coaching with Wenger is a good opportunity to learn.

Arsenal needs Arsene Wenger, but also Arsene Wenger needs Arsenal. For me, he will die at Arsenal. He is like Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. After you think about Ferguson and United, you then think about Wenger and Arsenal.

I believe one must always put events into perspective.

People think this is easy to be a football player. They only see the summit but they don't see the ascent, which is far longer and tougher than the career peaks. And there are so few of us to reach the summits. Some might earn €305,000 per month but there are a lot more for whom life is hell.

When I joined Arsenal in 2000 I learned a lot from Dennis Bergkamp. He was the mind of the team and he made things look easy.

I loved watching Andres Iniesta.

Cazorla is a great player.

Everyone benefits from a strong Paris Saint-Germain - the club itself, the French league and also the Champions League.

You can't know where you're going when you're a coach.

I don't like the fact that there can be clans within a team. A team has to be unified!

When you join a team you have to get on with everybody.

I really had to think and learn about musical intervals.

Since I was a kid, I've had an absolute obsession with particular kinds of American music. Mississippi Delta blues of the Thirties, Chicago blues of the Fifties, West Coast music of the mid-Sixties - but I'd never really touched on dark Americana.

You have to ask these questions: who pays the piper, and what is valuable in this life?

I hate cliche.

I still like to get carried away - but passively.

My dad played fiddle as well.

I think I surprise myself.

I'm just lucky because my kids are grown-up - I love them, very proud of them, and we are in close contact as big-time friends, but they don't need me that much now and I can actually enjoy this wonderful world of music.

Alone I'm nothing.

There's a similarity between European and North African folk musics.

Lately, I'm spending more and more time working with non-rock musicians and leaving the mainstream - almost dissolving into another world, musically.

When you're 20 years old and you're making points with volume and dynamism, it's a fantastic thing to do.

So many white kids, English kids - we had no culture.

I'm British - ostensibly British - but I don't know where I really belong, you know?

A daily blog would just about finish me off completely.

Soon, I'm going to need help crossing the street.

Now I'm a blithering oaf hanging on to the coatsleeves of commerciality.

There have been people I've warmed to over the years but, as the situation I'm in is so fleeting and transient, I've always known it's going to be over kind of real quick.
