"I live day by day."
"Every player wants to play at the highest level."
"Sometimes footballers, we get soft a little bit."
"Football is what, 15 years? I want to invest 100% of my life into the game, so when it's all said and done, I don't want to have regrets."
"When you're not happy, you don't need to fake your emotions."
"The reason I score more and more goals, season after season, is I know my mistakes from the past, I know my strengths, and I work on my strengths, but the little points I want to get better, and it's constant."
"I want to help my team-mates as much as possible."
"If you weren't with me when I had nothing, then you can't really understand me."
"When I was 11 years old, I was playing for the Lierse youth team, and one of the parents from the other team literally tried to stop me from going on the pitch. He was like, 'How old is this kid? Where is his ID? Where is he from?'"
"I wanted to be the best footballer in Belgian history. That was my goal. Not good. Not great. The best."
"When we were kids, we couldn't even afford to watch Thierry Henry on Match of the Day."
"Football is all about having fun - but playing to win at the same time. When you find the right balance, there's so much more to enjoy."
"I'm a goal scorer, so I'm here to score goals, but at the end of the day, I want to help my team-mates reach something, so we are working hard."
"I always said I wanted to play for a team that's challenging for every trophy that there is there."
"What I would like most is to play in the Champions League and try to win the Premier League once. Or better - a few times."
"I sit next to Drogba in the dressing room. I listen all the time because he gives advice."
"I am going to work hard in training and give it my all."
"I've always had a goal to win as many trophies as I can and to play for a club like Manchester United."
"Drogba is more of a hold-up player, a target man. I prefer to have ball to feet and run in behind."
"I'm Romelu Lukaku. I want to create my own history."
"I've been working to be a pro since I was 11 years old."
"When Manchester United and Jose Mourinho come knocking at the door, it is an opportunity of a lifetime and one that I could not turn down."
"At Manchester United, we play to win. That's my first mentality when I get onto the pitch. Then everything else comes with it."
"Every striker has to have that edge. When they are not scoring, or when the team is losing, they explode."
"People used to talk to me about that and say, 'Rom doesn't play with passion.' I do, but I don't show it too much because in my mind, I'm a guy that thinks a lot about how to win the game. Sometimes I let the emotions just come now, and it helps me."
