For a year, I had all sorts of weirdos coming on to me.

An autobiography is not about pictures; it's about the stories; it's about honesty and as much truth as you can tell without coming too close to other people's privacy.

The suit-and-tie job is very nice but it's not really who I am in my heart.

I don't really care what the man on the street thinks. I never did anything to please him in the first place, and I'm not going to start now.

I always liked to write and had fun writing, but I didn't have any pretensions about being a writer. I liked to read and liked to putz around and write little stories or poems, but my thing was sports.

There are certain things that people love to do, and they can't really explain it. That's me and football. The game gives me hope. It lets me be myself.

Football is my passion.

If you trust in an idea of football, and you trust in the team, it's important to have a squad with good balance.
