I always set myself new goals. I always want to do better than I did in the past. I always want to achieve things I never achieved before.

Speed is a part of me. I think I was born with that, and nowadays a fast player, I need a fast car, too.

Before I arrived here [ Borussia Dortmund], a lot of people were questioning about whether I could ever play as a striker, that I was a guy who could only run down the wing quickly.

Most of all I hope the tournament [The 2017 Africa Cup of Nations] will help unite our people [in Gabon]. My wish is to celebrate a big party all together.

I want to score goals in every match, as many as possible.

I would love to have a race against Usain Bolt one day! It would certainly be a good challenge for me.

My mother used to have a shop in which she offered very colorful clothes. I liked that from my early days on.

First and foremost, we have to focus on what we're doing and not worry about what Bayern - or any other clubs - are doing.

Every goal is hard work, especially in such an excellent league as the Bundesliga; or even take the Champions League.

Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto'o, two fantastic African footballers. So successful. And very nice characters as well. I got the luck to know them personally. They helped me a lot.

Experience has taught me that there are some situations in which it's better to keep quiet. That is, I tried to keep quiet. Life gives me good advice, but sometimes I refuse to take it.

Death is not the end of one's life rather than the beginning of another ( bad or nice) life.

As the past has ceased to throw its light upon the future, the mind of man wanders in obscurity.

People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they?

You are not realistic unless you believe in miracles!

On my tenth birthday a bicycle and an atlas coincided as presents and a few days later I decided to cycle to India.

The United States now has more prison inmates than full-time farmers.

Death is like an arrow that is already in flight, and your life lasts only until it reaches you.

And the time will come when you see, we’re all one, and life flows on within you and without you.

People tell me this is obvious. But it's ok to be obvious. Knowing and doing are different. Many people know many obvious things they completely fail to do, despite their knowledge.
