I love England.
— Emmanuel Adebayor
As a footballer, I know I am a role model for a lot of African kids, and I want to make a direct impact on their lives.
I hope I can get many goals for Real Madrid.
The best coach I have ever worked with is certainly Jose Mourinho. He has an unparalleled passion.
I had dreamt of playing for Arsenal and Real Madrid, and those dreams came true. Maybe I can dream of winning the Ballon d'Or, and that can come true as well.
I want to win the Champions League, and I don't care about personal success.
I went through a lot of good moments in Arsenal and a lot of difficult moments as well.
Stephen Ireland is one of the most talented players I have seen, and Nigel de Jong is doing really well. He fights for his team all over the pitch, and he has a lot of character.
Fans have to try to control their emotions, as we do as footballers.
I had some great experiences in England in clubs who are among the best in the country. I was happy there - my family, too. The only error that I made was to sign for Crystal Palace in January 2016.
With Mourinho, I learned a lot.
Harry Redknapp is a fantastic manager. He knows how to talk to players. You need that belief from your own manager. He tells you just to go out there and do your thing. That is what Harry has got more than anyone else.
If I regret leaving City, I'd regret leaving Madrid, I would regret Arsenal, and I would regret maybe even Metz, where I started off. So I have no regrets in life; life is too short to start regretting things.
I was born in a house without a light or a toilet, so why would I forget who I am or where I come from?
Money is killing football: people are making their decisions based on money.
My father worked in currency exchange, and my mother is a businesswoman.
Everything I do in life I put in the hands of God, my creator.
If you are Cesc, going to Barcelona, he will make more money, more sponsorship, and he is going home. What did Arsenal do to keep him at the club? Absolutely nothing. Now the fans say he is not loyal. When you leave Arsenal, you become a traitor, regardless of what you have done.
Winning is good but is better when it becomes a means of hope and positive change in the lives of those who are deprived.
I'm sure any player will tell you that to play with Real Madrid is a dream come true. I dreamt of playing here when I was young, at one of the biggest clubs in the world.
The worst coach I have ever had was Roberto Mancini. I never liked his training methods.
I would not refuse to play for my country over money.
All I want to do is win titles.
It was a dream to play in a stadium as impressive as the Santiago Bernabeu.
Football is a game. Don't get me wrong - there is money and other things in it, too - but it's still only a game.
As a striker sometimes you miss, and sometimes you score.
It bothers me to think I may never put on a Real Madrid shirt again. Madrid is the best thing that's ever happened to me in my life.
When I signed for Real Madrid, I knew it was a big club, but only when you're inside do you realise the magnitude of this team.
You need to feel loved, and that is what I feel at City.
I never regret making a decision.
My father always told me to be myself and say what you think is the right thing; sometimes you pay the consequences, but it means tomorrow will be a happy day for you.
I have never said I would leave Arsenal.
I know what it is to have nothing.
I did not walk for the first four years of my life.
I plan with the BBC African Player of the Year award to become an agent of hope and positive change in the lives of the millions of African youths who have lost hope and are deprived.
I'm always motivated when I go out on the pitch.
If one player can say that I, Emmanuel Adebayor, spoke badly to anyone in the changing rooms, then I'd honestly like to know who it is. It has never happened in my life.
I'm not really happy with my football career, but I can't complain about it, either.
Ozil is a genius. He has one-of-a-kind vision for the game. He has two eyes in the front of his head and two eyes in the back.
I'm very happy to have been a player who played for Arsenal, because the fans were always great to me - the manager, everyone, the players - and if I can just wish them the best of luck. They know, no matter what happened, they will always be in my heart because I love the club.
We all have to fight through our mistakes to become a better man.
What is the point in going into a stand and singing a song that you know is racist and then going out into the street and saying to me, 'I'm not racist. Come to Tottenham.'
As a striker, most of the time you have three chances.
It's a special club, and everybody opened their arms to me from the first day. The fans and my team-mates treated me wonderfully since the day I arrived, and that warmth has made a madridista. Whatever happens, Real Madrid will always be in my heart.
It is always nice to have a message from Jose Mourinho.
It's football - fans are passionate about it, and sometimes it's difficult for players to take, but we are good men, and we all make mistakes, and we are footballers.
I'll never be too big for anything.
I have a bad reputation in England, and I don't know why. Maybe it's something that has just followed me. But one thing I always say is that 90% of the people I've played with would say I'm an amazing guy, a great teammate. Other people, those who work on the gate at every stadium I've played at, will tell you I am a humble guy and a nice person.
I want to be part of a club that is aiming to be one of the biggest in the world.
He gave me the chance to be where I am today, and He's the one that can take it all away from me. So at the team hotel, I pray before sleeping, and I pray again in the morning.
