“I love England and so does my wife. The centre of London is unbelievab...” — Pablo Mari Quote

I love England and so does my wife. The centre of London is unbelievable. We are really happy here.

My footballing curve; I never thought this could happen. But over the years of work, injuries, without opportunities, I've learned that deep inside an attitude builds which says: 'The moment someone gives me the chance, there's no way I'm letting go.'

If I have to, I'll keep going until my career ends, but I think I've found a club to put down roots. A traditional club that supports its people, people who believe in it and give everything. I'd like to be part of that, a great footballer for many years for Arsenal.

England's good for me: there's a thousand things to improve, but I fit. I'm happy and I'd really like Arsenal to use the purchase option.

I just try not to be at the centre of everything.

I much prefer playing in the centre of the park; that's where I feel comfortable.

You have to face the fact that I have no reputation as a composer; I have my reputation as a songwriter and a performer-and that opportunity came this summer, when I was invited to perform at the Lincoln Centre festival in New York... three nights.

I think that I always loved being the centre of attention!

I like to think I've changed the centre of gravity on lots of national debates.
