I know how strong I am mentally, how I work on myself.
— Marko Arnautovic
I respect what Gary Neville achieved as a player. He was brilliant at Manchester United and hats off to him.
I used to do taekwondo when I was small but I don't like to fight, I like to have fun.
I want my kids to be proud of their dad and not to go to school and hear abuse. One day they will read many things about me and I would like it to be about football.
The problem is that people think once and talk 10 times. It's better to think 10 times before you talk once.
I was young at Inter and did things I wouldn't do again.
Of course when I was young, I was a little bit crazy.
Chicharito has had a very good career. He was at Man United and then when he left, he went to Real Madrid and then Leverkusen. He is the perfect striker.
The media talks a lot. The media, they don't know. They are not in the team, they are not training with me, they are not playing with me, but they are talking a lot about me in Europe.
The only thing that bothers me is that I am in good health and that I am able to play football.
You have some defenders who don't like you and you don't like them. And you know from the first minute, they're going to do everything to take you out of the game.
Of course, you try to achieve some things to provide for you and your family, and your club can pay you whatever they pay you. But, for me, it's important to be healthy, stay on the pitch and give everything to make performances. This is priority number one for me.
I had a slow start at West Ham, that's right. I came here and expectations were high because the fans were not quite happy with it. But as football players we have to deal with the pressure.
You can't keep losing and say nothing in the dressing room.
I just don't want to do well, I want the team to do well.
My business is to perform on the pitch, to put in performances and that is what I want to do.
I'm only doing my job, and if I score against Mark Hughes' team, it's nothing personal.
I respect the real fans and I understand them.
A lot of times I have fans asking for pictures and they say 'smile,' but I can't. It's not because I'm a mean person or don't want to be in the picture but I just can't do it when you say 'go, smile.'
You don't mess with Pablo Zabaleta. He is not just looking hard, he is hard.
Everywhere I went, Rapid Vienna or Austria Vienna, there was always a problem. I just wanted a coach who said: 'Just go out and win us the game.'
I've played in Serie A, the Bundesliga, Holland and now the Premier League. They are all different.
I'm quiet.
I played at Anfield twice when I was with Stoke and it's a hard place to go, we all know that Liverpool is one of the best teams in the Premier League.
I am a guy who gives everything for his team - I defend my team, my whole club.
People look at Instagram and say they want money, they want this, they want that.
I am not a person who wants to hurt people.
When you are on the street, if someone walks towards you it's better to look down. But we were always looking at people in the eye to try to provoke something.
Everyone thinks that footballers go on the pitch and they have so much money that they think about themselves. But I am not like that.
When you get support and you are in the box there is no better feeling than to score goals and make assists.
I've grown up a lot in England since I arrived at Stoke.
I've always been quiet in the dressing room before the game. I try to focus and give everything.
I want to stay at Stoke and play for Stoke.
I try to score in every game and I don't feel sorry for anybody: If we win and I score that's fine, nothing else matters.
I am not saying Gary Neville is a nobody. He has accomplished a lot in his life, he is a legend. But as a coach? Let him stay on the TV.
I like to dance, I love music and sometimes in the changing room I am dancing.
The thing is, Stoke City pulled me out of a situation where I was not playing, where I was not happy, and that was in Germany. They have breathed new life into me.
The German police were actually after me when I was first in Stoke. They had put pictures of my face on the trees in Bremen and said: 'Find this guy.' They said I had an €80 fine to pay or something. But I spoke to my lawyer and I didn't owe anything.
In Austria, everything is my fault when we lose. Whatever I do it's not enough.
I try to enjoy my football, this is what I live for.
I'm a football player and I have respect for every opponent, every defender and every team, but I'm not afraid of anyone and I'm not afraid to take them on and to make things happen.
My whole life I took challenges, I took pressure.
I'm surprised some people don't like me! I think I have a good heart, so they should like me!
I learned to keep my mouth shut, to keep my hands down, just try to put the ball in the net. That is the best answer.
I didn't care about anyone or listen to nobody, only my father or mother. I would fight my coaches and say: 'Who are you to scream or shout at me? Are you my dad? Talk to me normally.'
Money is not everything.
I don't like to praise myself - that I am the quickest, that I am the strongest, that I am the most technical guy - I never do that.
For me I don't care if I don't score or assist if we win the game.
You have one captain but, for me, it should be everyone who says something and help each other, then you can be a great team.
I work hard every week and when I come off the pitch after each game I like to think I've done everything possible to help my team.
