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

We all started playing football against our best friends, and I can’t remember a moment where, because it was my best friend, I did not want to win against him.

Only one can win, and all the others are disappointed and live in the middle of disaster.

Often, you are forced to keep things simpl

Only stupid people are changed by success.

I was a fighting machine with a will of iron.

The Premier League is one of the most difficult in the world. There’s five, six, or seven clubs that can be the champions.

I’m not a one-man show. I was never that in my life, and I never want to be that.

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

Written poetry is different. Best thing is to see it in performance first, then read it. Performance is more provocative.

I do my best to tell a story whenever I write music because I want to paint the most vivid picture that tells a story whether a person is falling in love for the first time or going through a painful heartbreak.

The first two months were painful and they really tested my manhood because there were times I didn’t want to get up because I was in pain.

In order to make anything a reality, you have to dream about it first.
