When I started to play football as far I was concerned I just played football. I didn't want all the stuff around it, the press and that.
I left for Madrid at 20 years old and I didn't really know how it would go.
It's good to experience different things.
I know my game and I know my qualities.
I know that English football and the Premier League is the best.
If you ask all the players who have played with me, they will never say anything wrong about me.
When Real Madrid want you, it is difficult to say 'No' but, when I got there, I knew I could not stay longer.
I worked hard when I played for Manchester City, Bolton, even in Fenerbahce.
I've played as a striker all my life. To play on the right or the left is always difficult.
It's always good for a player to be on the pitch.
It is foolish to hold against me remarks that I never made.
I went to Madrid to play football but I couldn't because I was never left in peace.
I have an affinity with Algeria, because I grew up with plenty of Algerian friends in the suburbs of Paris.
I was sixteen when I converted to Islam. Beyond the fraternal aspect, my conversion did not change my life. I was already living by the same principles - being righteous, having values.
Football is open to anyone, especially somebody like me who grew up in the Paris suburbs.
I would be very happy if my career ended the way it started.
People must not lose sight of the fact that football is a game. I would find it healthy that it remain so.
This is football, you always have to compete to be able to play. When you're at a big club, it's like that.
I do not need to show who I am to the people who do not know me.
I think Arsene Wenger was good for me.
