I've never had an idol, but I watched Ronaldinho and then players like Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi. They are so good, it's impossible not to notice them.
Like all players, I do not like being a substitute.
Sometimes, the players who are not spoken about a lot, they grow and get better - with silence.
I am happy at Everton, but the only team I want to play for is Barcelona.
I want to play and be happy. I am not happy being on the bench, like most players.
England's very different. I was at Barcelona for 10 years, and it's another world.
In football, you cannot only play because of your quality and talent. Defence is a must.
In the day-to-day, one only thinks about his club in training and trying to be in the starting line-up.
When you stay with Barcelona and are only 15 or 16, the people show you a lot of time, and you are in the newspaper every day. This sometimes is good, but sometimes this is bad.
When family and friends go to Everton, they tell me that there's a moment when I get the ball, and fans get to their feet in anticipation. There's so much at stake that people live under permanent pressure.
I do not want to live more from the past. I have my present and a great future that is on the other side.
There is only one Messi.
Always, you have these objectives when you are young. You think you can be the best, and that's what I have to be because, if not, I'm not playing football.
There is a specific mentality that is put into the young players at Barcelona, and from nine or 10 years old, you have to make good seasons because, if not, you are out.
I feel that I can be a regular at Watford.
The tactical way of Pep is the most incredible I have ever seen. When he was at Barcelona, that was their best team, I think.
When Pep was at Barcelona, I was so young, 16 or 17 years old. I went to training a lot, and Pep Guardiola told me a lot of things, but I didn't stay in the first team. He is an amazing coach, and if he comes to the Premier League, I think he will win a lot of titles.
I am a winger, but in future, I want to play more in the middle. When you are there, you have a lot more chances to score.
Cristiano has a lot to his game - he is good in the air, his shooting is perfect, his left foot perfect, and he is more of a striker than a winger now, a No. 9.
There is life beyond Barcelona.
