I'm honest - of course I want to be a legend.
Memphis Depay
That's my motto: dream, believe, achieve.
I don't feel sorry for myself.
I get up every morning and thank God for giving me the opportunity to play football.
To stay positive, you have to be very strong mentally.
I cannot be anyone else but Memphis. I tried that, and I was not happy with myself.
Being a fringe player is not the role I want.
I was always reading about the Premier League. It has been a big dream and one that came true. But it is not the end of the dream; it is just starting.
I stay close to my identity - that's something I find important - but I don't completely shut myself off from the outside world.
Once you lose connection with the coach, it gets difficult.
You have to work on your dreams every day, and that's what I am doing.
I want to aim as high as possible. I want to become the best player in the world.
The most important for me, what is expected of me, are goals and assists. For the rest, I do my best.
Some people collect stamps; I like fashion, discovering nice new things. I feel good about doing that.
I believe I can be one of the best players in the world. That's why I have my 'Dreamchaser' tattoo on my chest.
I cannot become the best in the world by staying in Lyon; that's clear.
Apparently, the things I do outside of the football are not taken as positives. I don't care, but sometimes it amazes me.
I take risks sometimes, and it's not the best choice. I have to take that kind of risk to become one of the best players in the world. If that's what I want to be, I cannot just play simple.
Let's be honest: doesn't everyone look at Ronaldo's free kicks? I've looked at a lot of his technique, but I do it in my own way. I have my own style and try not to do the same.
If you believe in something that you can achieve, I think you will make it if you put everything into it.
Everybody likes new shoes! It is a new feeling, going onto the pitch, so it is great to be able to wear them straight out of the box. They are comfortable straight away and move with you. I could not do that with my old shoes. So every time I have a big match, I want new shoes straight out of the box.
I enjoy my tattoos, as you can see.
I want to become a star. Failure is not an option.
Everyone knows the history between me and Man United wasn't successful. I didn't want it like that.
Mourinho is a great coach. He has told me he believes in me, both in person but also publicly.
I believe I can be a great player for Manchester United.
I play for God and only God.
What's my secret? I don't have a secret - you just have to work every day on your dreams.
I learn from my failures, but I will always try technical things; I will always try to take pleasure and do great things.
I'm a flamboyant guy, and I like nice stuff, but that doesn't mean I couldn't be more smart.
If I don't score goals or get assists, I am not doing my job.
I've always been criticised, but the important, that's what my team thinks. Others, I don't care about their opinion; they speak in the void. Social networks give them a voice, but I don't listen it.
I think soccer kept me off the street.
I will put pressure on myself to play good every game.
I take risks; sometimes I lose the ball. It happens. This is the football.
In the Premier League, you always have to be at your best. You get forced to get the best out of yourself.
I'm not David Beckham. I don't compare myself to such a legend.
A keeper can almost never catch my shots.
I want to go to a city that suits me and a club that suits me, to a team that really wants to play football.
I want to go to a club like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, or Bayern Munich.
Lyon is a big club, but not one of the five best in Europe.
Of course I want to be the best in the world; I want to play against big teams and against big stars.
Sometimes I play as simply as possible, in one or two touches. But I also make bad decisions, I make mistakes, and I try too-complicated things.
Ask any player: we all want to play in the best clubs and the best championships.
I live day by day.
What am I missing to be the best in the world? Honestly, nothing in terms of quality, just consistency, and that's not arrogance.
It's important for me to play every match the best I can.
First and foremost, I want to play well.
I don't always feel like a valued player.
Great players play all matches.
