It is true that I did not want to leave Milan. That changed when Zlatan Ibrahimovic came from Barcelona. Then I realised that for me it is better to go.

When you are a part of the team, you also want to play.

There are so many clubs that have shown an interest in my services.

Anything is possible in football and every match is different!

If it was up to me, obviously I would start every game, but that decision is up to the coach.

I hope that my team can show just how well we can play football and that we have the desire to win each individual match.

I can play with everyone, also with Robin van Persie.

Messi is just great.

Naturally, you always want to play, but it's about being successful - no matter how this is achieved.

It would be great to play in England. The atmosphere in the stadiums is incredible.

I always want to score as quickly as possible, whether I am in the starting lineup or playing as a substitute.

If I play well for Holland, I am sure that I will have my chance for Milan.

Being part of the Dutch national team is about unity and not about rivalry.

League titles do not get claimed in November or December.

Playing in a World Cup or in a European Championships is like a dream come true.

I don't really care about statistics from other attackers.

I tried not to let all the criticism affect me, but it obviously does not go unnoticed.

I'm more than ready if the national team coach needs me.

I will not leave Milan until I have demonstrated my worth.

It's no secret that Ajax is my club.
