I was always a shy little guy and people in Holland are famous for having big mouths! So you've got to have a big mouth to defend yourself.Collection: Famous
I am convinced that if you win one trophy, then the rest will follow.
Ajax is the best academy in the world.
I think so many things look like a penalty in slow motion.
When I won my first trophy, it was just a feeling of 'we want more.'
Revenge - I don't think in these words.
I can play at left-back and I can help the team at times. But everyone knows I am not a left-back.
Sometimes it's better if you can play in only one position. You see that with other players. These guys specialise in one position and they can completely concentrate.
To play for a team in the Premier League would be amazing and that's what I am going for.
It's flattering to be linked with clubs, the rumours give me confidence but I just try to do my best every game.
Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie are two of the best strikers in the league and the reason I came to the Premier League was to play against people like them.
Of course you have Messi and Ronaldo. And then you've got a lot of players who are very close to each other and I think Gareth Bale is one of them, like at the level of the best teams in the world. He could play for every team in the world. For me he's a world class player.
I'm a big fan of the Premier League, but you can't say no when a club like Milan come knocking.
You need to be 100% focused all match long against Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
I chose Spurs because they gave me a good feeling. I spoke to Daniel Levy and Rafael van der Vaart.
Even in the Belgium team, we get the respect. Teams are not happy when they have to face us.
I've played with some great players and against some great players, and Sonny is special, he's so humble and I think that you underestimate that because of the work he puts in, then his quality, outstanding left foot, right foot.
The FA Cup is very important.
My favourite thing, what I want of course, is to play in the Champions League with Tottenham.
I want to play as many games as possible.
Januzaj is someone a bit like Origi, there's no pressure and he plays like he's on the street.
I love playing in Europe.
I had a great time at Spurs and made lots of friends, and learned lots of things - perhaps even more off the pitch than on the pitch from my family at Spurs, and I will miss everyone.
It's one of my goals to play in the best leagues and against the best players.
I'm not a guy who wants to push himself into the spotlight or stand out from the crowd.
I'm a normal guy who wants to play games, whether it be the first, the 95th or the 97th of my international career.
I think the way City spends, I would say it's a lot of money. But they spend it in a responsible way. They attract good players, young players and they cost a lot of money.
Vermaelen is like a role model to me. His life is all about football and he's extremely disciplined. I'm more laid-back than he is. Thomas isn't the type of person to go out for a drink on a regular basis, unlike me.
The atmosphere in England is absolutely amazing and I'd be delighted to play in the Premier League.
Adama Traore and Diogo Jota are incredibly fast and difficult to stop.
When you don't play, you realise how important it is and it's extremely important for me.
To be playing in a Champions League final is something to cherish.
When I was six, I joined an amateur club called VK Tielrode in Belgium where I lived.
The most important thing when I joined Ajax was to combine it with school.
In my family no-one did high level sports at all.
Central defence is my favourite position.
I chose Spurs and I think it's turned out well. I felt I was joining a great team, with great plans and the personal chats I had with people at Spurs were great.
You want to win trophies.
I want to play in a cup final.
Obviously you have to trust the VAR to make the right decision.
I want to play in Europe, as the national team is important for me.
I want to play in Europe and learn another language. Spain and Italy are options.
It was my task to train hard and respect my team-mates all the time I wasn't playing or was on the bench, so I hope I did that.
We want to dominate, we want to entertain the crowd and play in a very positive way.
I get along well with at least 10 guys at Tottenham, but if I were to leave tomorrow, I'd get a text and that's it. Just like at Ajax. It's mostly at school that you make friends.
In more than 10 years, I've formed three real friendships. Mousa Dembele, for example. We've known each other since we were 12, our wives are from Amsterdam, he lives in London and we both have a kid.
At the start of my career, I had a problem focusing for 90 minutes, but that's the advantage of football: it's a team game.
I always eat the same thing on game day, or I read a book to calm myself.
I think I enjoy life in England because there is a lot of respect amongst the people here. People are very nice to each other - they are respectful, particularly of traditions, which I like.
