Every day I train with him I try to learn so even if it don't work out I can take something somewhere else because it's Thierry Henry. I grew up watching that guy scoring goals for Arsenal. I'm very lucky to have played with him. I just try to listen to him on the pitch, and stay close.
Bradley Wright-Phillips
I never used to watch MLS before so I had negative views. I thought it wasn't a good standard. When I got here I was very shocked. It's hard and it's a good level, and they look after you here. I love it.
So much of my game is owed to Thierry. We text regularly.
I would stay up till 3 A.M. playing Xbox or Playstation, go training at 8:30 A.M., go home and sleep and wake up at a crazy time like 7 P.M. and eat something ridiculous like a pizza and then get back on my computer. I was not living right and I wondered why I was not starting games.
I loved Plymouth and my time there because it helped me get my life back on track and I started scoring goals. But when I went there, it's not a place you dream of playing. It's not the team you dream of playing for. And you know when you're there, if you don't score goals or play well you're going down there and down from Plymouth is not pretty.
I don't want to define New York Red Bull as one player, or one manager.
When you grow up in the Premier League and grown up watching it, nothing else compares.
Sean Davis is one of the best youngsters I've been around. He's got an old head on his shoulders and he's a very good player.
I'm the type of guy who gets on the end of things. I need to work on my heading and sometimes my concentration is poor but you need someone to finish off moves.
We strikers, when we're scoring, we're confident, and we'll try and hit anything.
Growing up, I wasn't a big guy; I struggled to hold on to the ball.
I've seen people fall over and get fouls. I don't do that.
In my career I haven't been suspended much.
I want to win and a lot of things frustrate me.
It's all fun and games when you're scoring goals but there will be a time when I'm not and I just have to try and keep doing the same things. Hit the target and, you know, see what happens at the end of the game.
A loss feels like a loss.
If you don't win the MLS Cup it doesn't matter, so we know that the big one is the MLS Cup and we'll give our all to win it.
I'm lucky enough to play with great players.
There's players around the world that get assists from number 10s or wingers.
I wasn't happy with how I left England. I didn't like where my mind was football wise. I felt like football was coming second.
I know if I look back there's a lot of things I look back on and feel proud of in England. My time in MLS has just been better.
Making my debut at Man City, playing with my brother, that was a high point and was amazing. Going to Charlton and winning the League One championship. Even when I was at Southampton, my first year there I really enjoyed it.
There's been a few great moments, I don't hate my career in England.
I think England has got some great players.
For me, it's just a decision I made at home with my wife that I'm not eating meat.
I get my protein, I get everything I need, I don't feel like I'm missing on anything.
From the bottom of my heart, I've always found compliments hard to take. It makes me feel awkward.
I got a lot of unwanted attention when I was young. I'd be at a tournament at age 9 and there'd be loads of people around me. It always made me feel funny.
A big part of my game is movement. The players that I play with understand that and took the time to see where I like to run, and it's worked out.
I'm not Giovinco. I don't get the ball and dribble past three players.
I don't like to go through games not doing anything and then getting a goal. Obviously that's my job as a striker, but I feel almost wasted. I want to do more.
If you stop me from scoring, and I don't do anything else, then I've not really played well, have I? You can't score every game, so what are you doing if you're not scoring?
I'm realistic. I look for my own target that I set in my head beginning of the season. Once I get there, that's when I start enjoying scoring.
If you've got someone like Thierry Henry in your team, you get him on the ball.
Wenger is a legend for Arsenal. He changed the game in England and he changed how Arsenal look.
I know what's good enough for me. I know what makes me happy.
Sometimes it seemed like it was never good enough, no matter what I did.
In England, we're arrogant to everything else.
I don't really like too much credit. I know nobody's going to believe this, but I'd rather be able to score goals and nobody saw or even spoke about it. That would be just about the perfect world for me.
I feel like I'm quick enough, and on my day, I can be dangerous in the box.
I'm not too complicated. I don't think I'm great on the eye. I work hard. I try to outwork defenders, and that's it.
I like to get in the box and finish.
I'm a retired MC.
I always liked fashion. I like to dress up on days off - the weekend and go out - I have a friend that worked in a hat shop in Soho, and he came to me and asked me to design a logo and a hat. I did and I showed it to him and he loved it.
I always wanted to score goals, but sometimes I've scored and been terrible and other times I felt I played well and didn't score. I looked at the statsheet the season where I scored 27 goals and I had one assist and was frustrated.
In England, your manager is like a boss.
It gives you confidence when you see new players coming in, it makes you think something is happening at the club.
I remember at Man City when you saw people like Andy Cole walk through the door, you start thinking: 'We can get into Europe.'
My dad tells me to ignore any expectation.
I have to be myself.
