I was voted three times Germany's national player of the year, and that is decided by the fans. That shows the fans are there for me and believe in me.

It makes me very happy when I create goals or score goals myself, but the most important thing is that the team reaches its goal and plays positive football.

Arsenal belong as one of the best clubs in the world, and London is a great place to be, a great city to live in.

People wrote so negatively about me, but generally, the people who are familiar with football know my strengths and abilities.

I was born with football - my brothers, my dad. I played football when I was a kid. I mean, you know, it was part of life. It's a part of growing up. It's - you know, it's a way of life.

There are similarities between business and sport, in the pressures involved and in the fitness aspect too.

I spend a little time every day to play sports.

I see similarities in the sports I played growing up in the sense of how I tackle a role when I get a job. A lot of effort goes in on an individual basis. There is a lot of time spent by yourself working on your craft and what you have to do. But, at the end of the day, you're there to serve the movie just like you would the rugby team.
