What is the definition of the 'between player'? I have never heard of it, and I have been around for quite a few years.

I alone will decide when I'm retiring.

Football is business. It's all about being quick, quick, quick - nobody has any patience nowadays. But then again, that is how things are in normal life, away from football.

You cannot play the position Kroos plays in defensive midfield besides Luka Modric better than he does.

It's very interesting to observe how highly the Bundesliga is spoken of abroad, from the overall quality to the stadiums, the family-friendly atmosphere, and the football itself.

Bayern know how to celebrate on a big scale.

The perfect striker does not exist.

I wish Pep Guardiola the best. I rate him.

You cannot underestimate any team that has qualified for a semi-final.

Even Gerd Muller, the top scorer in our nation's history, was not perfect.

Early in my career, I played with a guy in Mike Rucker who was a threat on the other side.

I've always been a guy who's reserved my words for the right time.

You don't want to be one of these guys talking all the time, trying to say things all the time, because people start drowning you out.

That's what this game is about; it's about relationships.

I can honestly say I want to be one of the best to ever play the game.

Hopefully I can be one of the better players to play in this league. That's what I'm working for.

As long as my body will allow me to play I'm going to continue to play.

In Charlotte, it was all about the Panthers.

It's something I take a lot of pride in, that people compliment me and hold me in high regard.

People who are given a lot, a lot is expected out of them. I realize that, but I also realize expectations are unrealistic sometimes.

I want to have an impact on the game. Instead of a sack, how about an interception for a touchdown? I could get 15 tackles. I'm just using those as examples, but any kind of impact would be fine, whether it's a sack or anything else.

I tell you this: I'm not an outdoorsman. Actually, one of my things is to pick a little corner in Borders or Barnes & Noble and fall back and just read.

I want to get as good as I can possibly be.

Different teams put me in different situations.
