I was so obsessed with football that you could say I was taking the goal home with me at night. And then one day the system fell apart.

Goalkeepers need an element of insanity.

We are Bayern Munich and English teams always have trouble as soon as they leave the island.

If we perform as a unit and if every single player gives it his very best, everything can happen.

I think Neuer changed the game of goalkeeping in the World Cup.

If I play, I try to concentrate on producing my best.

I am firmly convinced that you shouldn't necessarily emphasize hedonism, especially at the beginning of a career, but should instead focus entirely on performance.

Big matches on the big stage are often decided at the back.

It looked pretty wild, but I was actually in control of myself. I've never really injured anyone throughout my career.

I've never really seen myself in the role of the victim.

A Germany team should not be afraid going into a tournament. History shows that we can raise the level of our game when it matters.

Sometimes playing stupid opens your eyes to the truth.

Write about the desire you dare to dream.

This is not a meritocracy.

My dad keeps joking about sneaking into my grandparents' house and switching out their HBO for PBS so they think I'm on 'Downton Abbey.

Any other foundation will fail, but Christ is a sure and steady rock to build your life on.

I mean, people listen to music, and they like that, but I think in England, a lot of people don't like contemporary art.

So writing a song is much harder than doing a classical piece for me, because in a classical piece, I can just let the mood dictate what's going to happen.

I did have a Twitter account that I tried for a couple days, but found I had nothing to say. There are some interesting facts I could share, but I don't want to share that part of myself.

I can’t wait fifteen years to do my work: Because my ideas are coming now.

It is a strange trade that of advocacy. Your intellect, your highest heavenly gift is hung up in the shop window like a loaded pistol for sale.
