“Coaches will say that it’s not important for their team to run more, and they prefer to make games the right way.”

I know I’m more on television, and I’m more recognisable than maybe even the players because they run and train, but I just stand there, and my face does all these funny things that everyone can see all the time.

Liverpool is a club with a big, big, big history, and all the clubs in the world have a big history if the present is not too successful.

When we have the ball, the other team has to run. The most important thing is for the players to be prepared to be a little bit wild.

I’ve met some Evertonians in the street, and they’ve been friendly. I’ve had taxi drivers who have been Everton fans. They’ve been really nice.

In Germany, they all thought I was a bit mental, very emotional.

We don’t want people to leave the stadium until the game finishes.

It’s absolutely normal that different human beings want to go different ways.

When the players go home, I can’t tell them what to do, so you need to create an atmosphere of trust. I don’t want to think, ‘What are they doing now? Do I need to call them?’

I am a very emotional guy. What I love, I do with all I have.

He is really something. I love him. He is Sir Arsene Wenger.

I love football and the intensity of football in Liverpool, this is what is very good for me.

I only change things where I know about a situation. I’d never change just for change.

Training will not substantially help matters. We have to learn to live with it.

I was learning that among friends, a smile can be better than a belly laugh.

Let us learn this lesson from Nehemiah: you never lighten the load unless first you have felt the pressure in your own soul.

I had the fortune or misfortune to learn how to read fluently starting at the age of three.

For my students who are trying to learn the craft of writing in a writing class – contemporary literature is what’s most useful.

To succeed, you will soon learn, as I did, the importance of a solid foundation in the basics of education – literacy, both verbal and numerical, and communication skills.

If we value the lifelong learning of arts and letters as a springboard for personal and societal growth, should any less effort be spent to make computing a part of our lives?

I learned more about acting from George Stevens in a few months than I had in my entire life up until then
