I'd rather give up most of my wealth to have the guarantee that I can carry on working for the rest of my life.
I find football much more powerful than what grown-ups want it to be. It's a community to me; it's something very meaningful in the life of many, many people and especially the youth. And, therefore, I think it can bring social cohesion.
On any longball, people try to outjump each other. I don't mind a big jump, but to be honest, the only thing you have to do is fight for the spot where the ball is going to land.
When there's pressure on the ball, you can go man-to-man on your striker; you've got the advantage because the ball pressure means it'll be a difficult pass to play.
It's funny: one of the strongest parts of my game today is heading, and that only really developed when I started playing at the professional level. In the youth teams, all we did was passing.
It doesn't take a lot to imagine what City means to me: it's been my life for the last almost ten years now. I'm grateful for what the club has given me, and I've given everything to the club.
I've been able to come back at a high level which is something I'm happy about, not just stand on the pitch but able to perform as well.
I'll be connected with City for the rest of my life - as a fan, as an employee, as an ambassador. Whatever City decide or I decide, it's not something we can undo. We're tied to each other for life.
Every club you sign for, they give you the same pitch - 'We've got a big project, big ambitions. We want to achieve this and that. We want to kick on' - and I just happen to be lucky that City was the one club that didn't lie about it.
When City came calling, I researched the club, but when I first came through the door, it was weird: it was a big club but at the same time a small club.
I don't think you can underestimate the impact of the gaffer.
Many players win the league for the first time, and they come back, and it's something you have to feel, to see in their eyes if things have changed or not.
I always believe that luck and faith will be on my side more than the other side.
One thing I am sure about Manchester is that people are proud of their history. They are proud of their football, music, the industrial revolution, and all the amazing things that were invented here.
I have been part of very successful City teams, but it was never at the end of a dominant season that we were able to win a title.
I don't want to change how I am, how I play, so if it means taking more risks, it's always going to be the case, and that's fine for me.
Racism is felt the most definitely in grassroots football.
When I was a kid, it was very common to go places and get racially abused, starting from age six all the way up until you got into the first team.
I was extremely competitive, so for me becoming a footballer was not necessarily because it was about being the best - it was about winning.
I never thought I could enjoy all this wealth without putting it to good use.
