I cannot hide being sorry for failing to move to Juventus.
— Edin Dzeko
Hopefully I'll have a lot of success.
Having been raised during the war, I know very well how childhood hampered by displacement, poverty, violence, and fear looks like.
Nobody is happy when they're not playing.
My motto has always been, 'Never give up.'
I've always tried to help younger players and to talk with everyone.
Chelsea is a great team with some amazing players.
I always try to do my best. Sometimes is that enough to get a good result, sometimes not, but I never give up, and I never will.
Manchester City didn't pay all that money for me because they saw me once on YouTube. They saw me scoring good goals. And I haven't forgotten how to score goals.
I am excited to play alongside players such as Carlos Tevez and Yaya Toure, whom I have only seen on TV, and to be in the same team as players I have played against such as Jerome Boateng and Vincent Kompany.
Everybody speaks about City having lots of money, but it is not about that. It is about ambition, and I have spoken to Coach Mancini, and he told me, 'This is the best club for you.'
The fans have always shown so much faith in my ability, and I feel so much love, both from supporters inside Manchester and from those all over the world.
I'm really happy here at City. It's a second home to me, so it was an easy decision to stay for the long term. I knew from the beginning when I started here that I wanted to stay for a long time - I can't see any place better than here.
I will never be a super sub. I want to play.
I turned down a lot of money by not going to Chelsea, but that's not what I'm interested in.
I never played any games like this in Germany, not when you have to fight for 90 minutes. But if I want to be successful in England, I have to get used to it.
I wish to thank all fans who support me, but the others should be ashamed because I am a born winner and always played my heart out for the national team.
That was always special, playing Manchester United. I loved the feeling of the derby, that pressure, the atmosphere around it. And I did have some good matches there, didn't I?
Shevchenko was always the favourite player for me. He was my idol. When we met, we exchanged shirts and talked for a while. It was great.
The first goal is always very important.
Never have I doubted myself, because I know what I am capable of.
Every time I see a paper, for what seems like a year or more, there is a story saying that I am leaving City or that I want to go. But I've never said that, so the stories don't come from me. I've always wanted to stay at City and fight for my place.
For the two and a half years in Italy, I can be happy with what I did.
That's the English Premier League. You can win against the best teams and then lose against the last.
Regardless of what I was and who I am, above all, the most important thing is to remain human.
Every striker is stronger when we play with wingers.
Everyone expects goals, and I want to score them, but most of all, I want to contribute to a successful team.
I think, for every player, it is important he knows the manager believes in him, and it is important he has the confidence of the manager. That helps you to find the best form.
United always had that flag which counted the years City were without a title, making fun of our fans. After the 6-1, they were quiet!
I came here to win titles with Roma. I can only promise one thing, and that is that I will give my best for this club in every game.
I was never a super sub before I came to City. I used to play always from the beginning, and I scored a lot of goals not as a sub.
I'm happy to be with Roma, and I think the club should be, too.
I love the Bundesliga, and I will return to the Bundesliga. I can just not say when I will return.
I am not a player who stays on the edge of the box and waits for a chance.
I love Manchester. I really do. It's a lovely city, lovely people, and I really enjoyed it there.
I still have a home in Sarajevo, and there is a room where the walls are covered with football jerseys. One is a Milan shirt with Shevchenko's name and number on the back. It is an original from one of his Serie A appearances, and he has autographed it. It has pride of place. It really is my prized possession.
For every striker, it's important to have some crosses. Sometimes they come, sometimes not.
Every player has his goals.
Of course, there is no greater honour than to captain your own country.
I never want to stop, and I want to try to be even better.
Goals don't bother me, even though it is my job. I am as happy when team-mates scores as I am when I score. Winning is what matters.
I was six when the war started. It was terrible. My house was destroyed, so we went to live with my grandparents. The whole family was there, maybe 15 people all staying in an apartment about 35m square. It was very hard.
Every player needs time to settle in and to get used to a new club, from knowing the league to the other players - everything.
City are playing for first place in the Premier League, and that is what I want.
Since I left, I follow every City game in every competition, and it's just natural for me because I feel it is still my club, even if I'm not there anymore.
I was always attracted most to joining City, and I am pleased to be at such a good club with such a big ambition as Manchester City.
When you get 10-15 minutes, you can't be sad or angry with the coach. You just have to play your game and do your best. That is in my mind always.
Honestly, I don't know why we can't transfer the mentality we have in the Champions League to Serie A.
I'm not interested in money.
I played my first derby, I won, and I scored. As good as it gets!
