I've always been Carlos Vela - sincere, original and true to myself.
Carlos Vela
I really enjoyed being with my teammates and representing Mexico, but I didn't go where I wanted to go.
A part of me will stay at La Real and San Sebastian.
Everything is possible in this life.
I think my decision to stay at Real is looking more and more like the right one. I've never regretted coming back. I came because I trusted the team and I thought we could get better.
When a player joins El Tri, he doesn't want to do things the wrong way.
I hope I'm lucky enough to be at Arsenal for a long time.
I am ready to give 100% for Arsenal.
I'd 1,000 times rather go see an NBA game than a football match.
Of course I always want Mexico to win.
I love Mexico.
It's always great to know successful people like Canelo, especially those that make our country proud.
No one person is going to come in and change the world, or a national team.
I think that people in Mexico talk too much.
Obviously, playing in a World Cup is always beautiful, helping your team is always cool, but when you don't think it's time, you have a clear conscience.
As a person, I think you should assume the responsibilities of your actions.
Playing soccer is what I've done and known all my life, starting at such a young age with my friends.
I always worked to be the best player.
I love to go on the field, and I want to score 100 goals every game, if I can. But it's also my job, and when I finish my job, I have a life. I have a family.
Arsene knows what he wants and knows how to get the best out of you - that is why he gets such an impressive response from his players.
My life was always one year here, I squeezed out what I could from it, enjoyed it the most possible and changed. That was the way of life I had.
I enjoy playing, but once the match ends the football is finished for me.
When I'm working, I want to be the best. But when I'm out, I don't want to watch games. I don't want to talk with everybody about football. I want to talk about life - about anything else.
If I go out to eat with my wife or take my son to the park, nobody cares.
You don't know where you'll end up.
I'm open to listening to proposals, options, it doesn't hurt.
You can't close the door on anybody.
For me it's like really exciting to see all my fans showing this love to me. So it's a responsibility to me to go out there every game and try to be a good player try to show good things because my fans expect that I do something special.
Well, I have a good relationship with everybody. So, it's difficult to be a bad relationship with me.
I don't like the soccer industry and yes, I do like to play.
The truth is I've been through a lot and you see that this is a job. It's not like for fans, for whom it is a feeling and a passion.
I am not a person who loves to watch games and that doesn't mean I don't like soccer. I take advantage to do other things in my free time.
Arsenal's style of play is so smooth and easy and I hope I can adapt to their style quickly.
I am motivated and relish the pressure.
At Osasuna I had a difficult experience because of the relegation battle but I always had a place in the team. I played well all season.
It has been a useful experience to play for several different teams and move around.
I've achieved a lot in Spain.
All of us make mistakes and the majority of us have missed a day's work for whatever reason.
I respect the fans a great deal.
I've never gone against any manager, nor have I talked badly about any coach, I've always thrown myself at any challenge handed to me and tried to understand and learn.
It is very special for me to be the first Designated Player in LAFC history.
I try to do my best and enjoy every moment at San Sebastian, because I do not know if I will stay here.
The most important part of my life came in San Sebastian: my new family.
I wanted to leave so much that when I heard I had a good offer to play and leave England, it was a case of me saying: 'I love it! Yes, let's go!'
To represent your country is always very nice.
I'm at my country's disposition.
Never been crazy enough about soccer to say, 'I'm a Madrid fan until death.'
I see something that I don't like, I prefer not to participate and say, 'Look, I'll leave you to it, I wish you the best, a lot of luck and I support you, but I don't want to be there.'
I enjoy playing but the moment the game ends, football ends and you can talk to me about anything except football because I don't feel comfortable.
I have never played in Mexico. It is something I have always wanted to do and I would not close the door on any offer.
