Remember that before joining Arsenal, I was at Marseille where it was easy for me because I was with my family; I was born there and had played for them since I was nine. I came here on my own, and you grow up more quickly that way. It made a difference, because now I have become a man.
I don't think I'm ready for New York.
I used to be an engineer, and I was the worst engineer in the United States of America. That's why I became a comic.
It was a big decision to leave Everton and it took me a lot of time to think over.
Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.

When I was 16 I was fortunate enough to get Cosby and move to New York and shift my whole life. that had been my dream all along, and it came true.
People had lost faith in me in Baltimore, and rightfully so. I knew that was not the guy I was.
I arrive in New York on October 15, 1975. On my own, by the way.
It was a difficult decision to leave Liverpool but I knew it was something I had to do to get playing regularly and improve.
A lot of times people say they want a fresh start, but you can't really have a fresh start because it doesn't happen that way.
When I was still in high school I knew I wanted to live in California.
I cleaned up my act because otherwise I would have kicked the bucket.
There just comes a time when it's so clear that moving on is the best decision.
I'd always wanted to live in San Francisco, and my circumstances never permitted it. I'm so happy I made the move.
I started with nothing. Zero.
The challenge starts when you first come to Mumbai. But it's momentary if you win an award.
I've grown to love L.A. It was a really touchy transition. It was not the easiest. It took me some years to love it.
Everybody has to go through a struggle period, and I was no different. When I came to Mumbai from Delhi, I didn't know anybody, and all my relationships had to be built up from scratch, including my work relationships.
I had this dream that I was going to come to New York and be a writer.
I feel like the longer I hold out - I feel like as soon I move to L.A., I just become one of a million.
When I moved to L.A. in 1989, the very first thing I did was this horrific pilot called To Protect And Surf.
For me, I always think of the image of sweeping out my footprints as I walk through a scene.
I first arrived in New York in 1979. I was 19 and I was going to University in Houston, Texas, and I decided that I knew what I wanted to do and it was time to go and do it. I literally ran away from college.
I moved to L.A. at 17, and for the fist time, I had to realize that if I run out of money, I'm moving back to Ohio - and I didn't want to do that at all.
