Quotes from Samir Nasri

If starting games in a club like Manchester City and winning two titles isn't enough, too bad. I won't regret anything.

I don't regret leaving Arsenal.

I do not have regrets, I do not regret joining Manchester City.

Wenger is an immense manager and a great man. He takes care of his players, maybe too much. He's not a man of conflict.

It's so important to do well in the first game of a tournament because it can be key in the group. If you lose, you have so much pressure on the next two games.

A man is not scared of playing, of having any contact, and you won't shut him down if you kick him - he will just ask for the ball all the time.

I never said Arsenal fans were not good. I just said I saw real passion when I signed here, and I said Arsenal was a little bit different. That is the only thing I said.

I hope I will integrate myself quickly in this team and bring everything I can to Arsenal and the fans.

My parents sacrificed everything for me. My father worked on a building site and as a driver - so many jobs. My mum was at home full-time to take care of me, my sister, and two brothers.

From time to time, I'm a jerk.

Remember that before joining Arsenal, I was at Marseille where it was easy for me because I was with my family; I was born there and had played for them since I was nine. I came here on my own, and you grow up more quickly that way. It made a difference, because now I have become a man.

Pellegrini was the biggest factor for me to be joining West Ham.

I have to smile because we, as footballers, are really lucky to do the job we do. But this is not just a job for me. It's my passion.

When I'm happy and smiling, I play my best.

Arsenal do not have money to spend, so they are gambling on young players. Arsenal are obliged to sell their best players and bet on youth - but what counts is having a team, great players, and a solid squad to win titles.

I hope I can score many more goals and help to bring more trophies.

A final is a final, a trophy is a trophy, a cup is a cup. Whatever cup you play, you want to win it, especially when you are a player.

If you win the Carling Cup, it can give you confidence, and sometimes, when you haven't won a trophy, you become scared of winning.

All my career, I've played in great teams - Marseille was a great team, Arsenal was a great thing, but we never won a trophy. With Manchester City, first year, it happened, and it was just a big relief.

Mentally, I'm really strong, but for maybe the first time in my life, I cried about my career because I thought it was over. When you've been out for a year, and you think it's over, you think completely differently after that. I was just looking on TV, and I wasn't able to train, and in the meantime, I had a son.

We get older, we get more mature and stronger mentally. You learn to deal with different situations.

You can't be the best every game. Even Messi can have a bad game.

Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, they play on a different galaxy.

Marseille has a big Muslim community. The good thing is it is a melting point: all nationalities in there. Everyone is fine with each other. It is really close to North Africa, to Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, so a lot of them come from there.
