I think the best way I can repay the supporters for their kindness towards me, and for all that love, support and appreciation, is to score goals and win trophies for them.
I don't look at records, that's not why I'm playing the game. Goals, of course. Every player in my position wants to score goals. But most of all, trophies. My target is always to win trophies for Barcelona, and that will always be my motivation, to win things. Nothing feels better than doing that as a team.
The key for me is to score goals and win trophies.
I always said the same: I try to do my best, to support the team, to score goals, to win victories.
There are those men who say to repay evil with kindness. But I say, how then are we to repay kindness? Repay kindness with kindness, but repay evil with justice.
I think the only way to return my followers' kindness and show my appreciation for their support is to become a better actor - and to help people any way I can.
Nobody ever tells me to give them a pass or anything. My job is to score goals, and if I don't shoot the puck, I can't score goals.
What we all have in common is an appreciation of kindness and compassion; all the religions have this. We all lean towards love.
It's a personal challenge for me, to give the best of myself, to win titles, to score goals for my team, and to help when needed.
I hate to speak about individuals. Players don't win you trophies, teams win trophies, squads win trophies.
I like to be with Aubam. He's a good boy, a good man, and a good player, and every day, we laugh a lot, so I like to hang out with him. I hope we will score a lot of goals together, can win a lot of games and win some trophies.
The best way to keep relationships happy, healthy, and supportive can be summed up in one word: appreciation. What you appreciate, appreciates. When we demonstrate our appreciation for the support we receive from others, it reinforces that behavior and deepens our connection to them.
I swear on my children's lives that I never look at the statistics or look at beating anyone's records. All I do is look to improve but not compete against any record. I want to win trophies and score goals because that's my job as a forward.
During my time with Maccabi Tel Aviv, I learned how to play better by using my head. I was given the chance of playing a more forward position so I could score many goals. In short, I have become a player who can score goals and win games.
I set goals, but they're mostly very personal goals. I never try and set a goal where 'I want to win this,' or 'I want to do this,' where other people can affect what I do. If I want to swim a new best time, I sit down and work out the best way of doing that. Whether I can shave a few tenths of a second off a turn or the start, my goal is putting them all together in a race. That's the way I set my goals.
Sometimes when the strikers don't score, the pressure starts on them. They love to score goals.
Iniesta deserved to win the Ballon d'Or. To win it, you have to be lucky that the attackers have not done so well. If Messi and Ronaldo score 50 or 60 goals, they will always give it to them.
