We want to see football. If people want to see acting, they go somewhere else, not the stadium.

I'm a cuddler; I like harmony.

I want to show people how I really am. Most people are only familiar with some of the headlines.

Asian players have more in common with the Bundesliga than with Italian or Spanish leagues because they are wedded to the team cause, are hard-working and disciplined.

I played the 1980 UEFA Cup final for Borussia Monchengladbach against Eintracht Frankfurt, who had the legendary South Korean Cha Bum-kun as their forward. He was the face of Frankfurt then. He had pace, great technique, was a great dribbler, and scored goals. And most importantly, he was the ultimate team man.

I am not a superstar, nor do I want to be remembered as one. I have always been a team player.

Footballers have to help each other out. Everybody must give his best in pursuit of common goals - not individual ones. This has been the German approach through our football history.

If you are champions, you have to work harder than before.

I always say that if you stay with a good coach, the relationship between him and his team becomes like a family: he becomes a father with his children.

Guardiola likes footballers who can pass the ball, who have eyes for the best position and the right runs.

If there's one thing that fans like to see, it's a player who can run at full speed towards the goal.

I'm proud I was first to be named World Player of the Year, in 1991.

I love Mbappe. He is so quick, carries the ball so fast, and can run the length of the pitch.

Dele Alli doesn't have to show me or anyone else anything - because he has already proved his quality.

Everybody talking about being afraid of being boring is boring. You have to go for the real substance of life after awhile.

Harmony Korine, the screenwriter, was really into my early work. I did a lot of stuff under the name Sentridoh and a lot of 4-track cassette stuff that he was into.

I love Devo. There's nothing not to like.

At 12 or 13, I picked up a guitar because my mother made me learn how to play.

My experience with Dino Jr. proved that making new music was a worthwhile pursuit.

Don Henley is real fallback for awfulness.

With every performance I just feel more energized somehow. Like, this is how I exercise! This is how I feed my ego, by playing this loud rock music.

I think all food except for maybe pizza and Mexican food is better in Japan.

If you make a strange, eccentric record - like the Velvet Underground's 'White Light/White Heat' - it takes on its own mood because it's less about a shrewd marketing plan; it's more about an individual emotion.

Someone who's a really good engineer is someone who's a little bit smarter than you but who also listens to you and doesn't impose agendas.

I don't know what ontological means... I barely graduated high school, and I have never heard that word in conversation.

I don't know if i have a 'take' on L.A. The music community is enormous, from the studio musicians to the bands trying to 'make it' to the indie bands... so many bands... it can be overwhelming. But it seems healthy.

I love making records, and part of really doing that and being happy about it is just that each time I've done something, I come to terms with what maybe is wrong with it, and then I move on to the next thing.

I've put out a lot of stuff that just confused and alienated people: a huge chunk of songs that were verbal and musical challenges to myself, thoughts I was keeping myself busy with, nothing I had any intention of anybody grasping onto.

One thing about when I came back into Dinosaur that was really cool was that pretty much anybody that J. was working with who had a long-term relationship with J. were people I really liked and that I actually may have already known.

I went back and reread the Dinosaur chapter in 'Our Band Could Be Your Life,' and it was so depressing.

When you're in a band, it's kind of a big thing to be friends as well.

Literally everything I do is either write songs and play music, or I'm immersed in my domestic life.

Some of my songs are positive and stuff, but some are about staring down at the ground and obsessing about stupid things, and it is teenage in a way.

I'm fully aware, I've gotten terrible reviews my entire career. It's not a really big deal; it's something I can deal with.

People in the Midwest, there's a lot of regional pride and a lot more, like, fake positivity - 'That's great - you're awesome!'

I've never been good at playing live in front of people.

Los Angeles was really beautiful, and California in general is a great place to live.

Just from the beginning, I really liked playing around with tape recorders. And then, when I got into punk rock, I only really liked - the rawer it was, the more I was into it.

At nine or ten, I was playing guitar in music class in my elementary school in Jackson, Michigan. They had a guitar class, and I played with ten of my classmates, and we did a little guitar orchestra for a school music.

I had a very strong 'revertigo' for becoming the kid that I was when I was in Dinosaur Jr. That's a pretty insecure place that I was in.

My family is the epicenter of my life.

I like all the obnoxious Eagles stuff that just drives people crazy. I love 'Life In The Fast Lane' and 'Hotel California.'

I've always tried to make music for someone who's never heard anything I've ever done.

When I was a teenager, my mom got me a really nice baritone ukulele.

For me, it's hard to enter any situation with people where we're considering everyone equals, because I bring all of this massive baggage into anything that I do, preconceptions of my work. That's a lot for the people that I might be bringing along with me to bear.

Now, when I have a four-string that I take on the road with me, it's a regular Martin. I bought a decent Martin with a pickup in it, and then I just take off the strings and have four strings on it.

I can finish a show and walk through the audience without being recognized.

I prefer to read into other people's songs what I want to hear in them.

I wrote a song for my sister's wedding.

To bicker over what could have been is silly.
