You mustn't smile when you lose. You have to be sad like other people. You have to win every game.Collection: Sad
You question yourself all the time as a footballer. You have to focus on the positives.Collection: Positive
I've had more ups than downs in my career. All you can do is keep working. You still have to take enjoyment out of what you're doing, and things will turn, and my smile has always been there. In good moments and bad.Collection: Smile
When I was back to 100 per cent fitness, I was able to show what I was capable of. I like to think I will bring a freshness into the Euros, and now that I am captain, I am going to do my best to take responsibility.Collection: Fitness
These days, I'm always trying to have lots of touches, to be involved, and to play my football for 90 minutes.
For a young player like me, it is good to play for a club that can get to the semi-finals because one of the reasons I play football is for these big games.
Individually, I am very happy because I can play in every game. I can be on the pitch and do what I like to do, which is play football.
I like to play as a No. 10. I think I have more freedom offensively. For Belgium, we have full backs who run hard and create a lot of space, which is good, and I like to play there.
I play on the left hand side, and I try to do the best I can.
My first trophy in France was the Young Player of the Year. I was 17. Chelsea is not just one player. It is not only me. We have signed a lot of players. Now we have some good signings like Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa.
I know as soon as a game is finished if I have done well. I don't need people to tell me. I want to achieve perfection.
It is a pleasure to play under Jose Mourinho, and everything is OK. I learn every day. He is a normal coach. He speaks a lot with the players. I like it when the manager speaks a lot with you because it gives you confidence.
We feel good. We are full of confidence. We take game after game and try to win every game.
We don't look at records, but if we can make history in this club, we will. It's not only about Chelsea, this league.
It is always good to be on the scoresheet.
For the strikers, we have more freedom, and even when we lose the ball, if we press together, we can get it back, and it is good system for Chelsea.
I spoke with Abramovich. He is very simple and loves football. We were on the same wavelength: he wants to confirm Chelsea's position at the top.
Chelsea have made a good investment for me, but I did not put any pressure on them.
I've always said I wanted to play in England. There was a struggle between Chelsea and United, but according to me, Chelsea has the best project.
At 21, Real Madrid or Barcelona would have been more difficult for me. If I play well enough at Chelsea, I could win my place in the starting team, and my priority is to play.
With Lille, we could have gone to the South of France, and people wouldn't have recognised us. But at Chelsea, the players are at another level. Everything has changed - the language, the country - but it is up to me to adapt.
It's true that Tottenham tempted me because it was a young team which was third in the league.
The directors told me they were going to recruit good players with whom I could play decent football. Marko Marin, Oscar and me, we like to have the ball at our feet. Juan Mata likes the ball; so does Ramires.
People were saying, 'He's worth £32m? He tried a back-heel and fell over!' Even I laughed. In my head, I said, 'OK, you've seen the bad side, now come see the good side'.
I watched videos of great players. I was inspired by what they did, then I used to try things out in training.
When I was small, I was the same as everyone else. I used to play in a small council estate nearby. But it's really my family who taught me. I started watching my dad play from the age of two. I wanted to be like him.
The first pitch I played on, for my first club, Braine-le-Comte, was only a metre from our house! I progressed very quickly.
Weight training and working on being explosive helped me gain a few yards of pace. Even when I was small, I was stocky. Even if people pushed me, I managed to stay on my feet.
I know how to make the difference. When I make the difference, I often do it at the end of the match, and that shows that I am fresh.
It is good, it is better to be voted by the players - they know everything about football.
Chelsea are a big club - we have to win titles and to qualify for the Champions League. There's a lot to do, but we'll try to do it all.
The FA Cup for all the fans does mean something special.
The FA Cup is something we want to win, but when you play for Chelsea, it is not something you think about a lot because you want to win every game.
My target is to give everything, and only if we win the trophies will I be relaxed.
Why change? If you're happy, and things are going really well at one place, there is no need to change.
The Belgian fans expect a lot of me in the Belgium team. It is normal - they don't forget that I cost Euros 40m. I totally understand.
I try to play like I did when I was a young boy playing in my garden. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's not so good, but I try to always make sure I give my best to help the team, even if I am not having the best game myself.
We are professionals. We know when we're playing badly, so if you have a poor game, you work in training to put things right so form comes back.
If I ever leave, it'll be after winning a championship. You need to go out on a high so that people remember you for the right reasons.
I have always thought if there is a game, and there have been a lot of fouls on me, then I have been playing well for the team, so that means we're having a good match. You can win a free-kick when there's a foul, and that's a chance to score a goal.
When you are young, you sometimes play one good game and then one bad game.
I have always been small, so defenders have always been taller and tougher than me. So that's difficult for me; they foul me sometimes, but there you are - that's what the rules of the game are for.
For me, it's easier to play with my right foot. It's simple. If I go right, I see Diego and have different solutions: I go alone or pass to Diego, or the midfield can join in. If I go the other way, the cross with my left foot is not good.
I ask myself what I can do to become like Messi and Ronaldo and score 50 or 60 goals in a season.
The more you play against teams and defenders, the more you get to know them. You know if they are more nervous; you know, on the pitch, people are different. I try to adapt to their character.
With experience, you improve. I'm a better player now, more complete than I was when I was player of the year.
Kante is a good player. For me, it is good because he speaks French. We know he is a fantastic player; he runs a lot and works for the team.
I played without fear. I've done that since I first kicked a ball in my back garden as a five-year-old, whether it's been my first game, my 100th game, or my 500th game.
That's my mentality. Just because somebody has fouled me, there is no reason for me to be nasty to him. I try to respect football as much as possible, and when someone is injured, you put the ball out.
I can still take the hits; it's not a problem for me. I accept the blows. I can take the punches like a boxer.
