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

I’m looking forward to the intensity of football and how the people live football in Liverpool. It’s a special club.

I didn’t take many penalties, but I never missed one.

If you want special results, you have to feel special things and do special things together.

If two smart, intelligent, clever guys sit together on a table, and you both want the same, where can be the problem? We all want to be successful.

I get a little bit emotional during a game!

It is my job to help the players react better.

I understand aggressiveness in only one way: being prepared to hurt yourself, not someone else.

I love pets, especially dogs.

I’ve thought sometimes about what I like about football, and it’s playing together.

My heart breaks. Really, I have tears in my eyes. Central midfield is Shinji’s best role.

The emotion to handle the pressure is one of the biggest challenges in football – it’s the top challenge.

I have only one understanding of development and of making success, and that’s by going step by step.

The city gave us a goodbye party, and it lasted a week.

When you create circumstances together, when you try everything, then you can lose. But you need to show the importance.

You’d be waiting 30 or 40 years for me to build a table. I have more than two left hands.

My biggest skill is common sense. I understand life.

We all tend to be in the same circles – people like my Wu-Tang brothers, or Black Thought from The Roots.

A torn jacket is soon mended; but hard words bruise the heart of a child.

You should never get away from where the real foundation of Formula One has been, which is Europe.

I also had to collect thirty cents a week from each customer. I owed the paper twenty cents per customer per week, and got to keep the rest.

Great advice comes from people that have been around a lot longer than you.

I think everyone should experience defeat at least once during their career. You learn a lot from it.

I could never take orders from anyone.

You’re safer in the race car than you are in cars going to and from the track.
