My professional career only began at 21, really.

I could very well see myself ending my professional career at Kaiserslautern.

I might have a different understanding of the term 'football star.' If I shoot a few balls after training, it's perfectly normal that I collect them afterwards.

Teams in the past have been slow starters yet gone on to win the World Cup.

As a Naval officer, I've been all over the world, and one of the foundational lessons I learned was that parents everywhere would like to raise their children to a higher standard of living in a peaceful environment. That's a universal goal for families.

I want six kids. We'll see how it goes, but I want a big family.

I only tour in short bursts, I'm only ever away from my family and three daughters for a month or two.

I can pinpoint the exact moment when I first began to think about what profession I should go into. It was 1978. I was seven and had just been handed over by the women of my family to the earnest and self-important gatherings of the men. I was no longer the responsibility of my aunts and older female cousins. I was now a man. This was a tragedy.
