“The wind can be quite extreme in England. We are not familiar with that in Germany, and you have to keep things simple.”

In England, football is a big thing to talk about, but Liverpool, it’s a special place. You feel it when you make your first step.

In England, you have stadiums in the middle of the city.

Derbies are always difficult to play because you have to handle the pressure. There’s no advantage or disadvantage for either side.

If you watch me during the game, I celebrate when we press the ball and it goes out.

The English game is not faster than the German game.

For me, it’s enough that I have the first and last word.

I don’t think I’m an unlucky person.

It needs time. Nobody wants to hear it, but that’s the truth: if you want to have success in the future, you have to be ready to work now.

I always thought about working in England because of the kind of football, the intensity of football. Liverpool was first choice.

Bayern want a decade of success like Barca. That’s OK if you have the money because it increases the possibility of success. But it’s not guaranteed.

The intensity of the football and how the people live football in Liverpool – it is not a usual.

I am a normal guy from the Black Forest, and I do not compare myself with the geniuses.

As Dortmund manager, I lived in a street, and my two neighbours were Schalke fans. They showed it every day, flying flags!

My father gave me some advice when I was very young – whatever someone tells you in the future, don’t forget Pele is the best.

You can speak about spirit, or you can live it.

When you play sports like tennis, you’re alone, and that’s a good school for life, but it’s also a good school for life to bring your best and make those around you better, too – helping others in difficult moments.

At the extreme temperature occurring in the stars, matter can only survive in its most dissociated states. Only simple bodies exist on these incandescent stars.

I am extremely proud to be of Tongan and Samoan descent.

To me, nothing else about a tree is so remarkable as the extreme delicacy of the mechanism by which it grows and lives.

The world is not dialectical – it is sworn to extremes, not to equilibrium, sworn to radical antagonism, not to reconciliation or synthesis. This is also the principle of evil.

The Republican Party has become overwhelmingly so extreme that it’s hardly a traditional political party anymore.

Spending a weekend with Hitler would have been boring in the extreme, although you would have had a greater certainty in coming back alive.

A viewer as opposed to a filmmaker might see a film differently. But I’m extremely comfortable with my style.

I cut my teeth playing rock songs on the accordion when I was a teenager and my friends always thought that was extremely amusing.
