I think the 20-year-old me from that time, if I could have been managed under Jurgen Klopp, I'd have benefitted.
On the bench, I've got no problem with Jurgen Klopp, he's managed his team and it's fantastic.
This is hard to say but I think Jurgen Klopp has been a bit blinkered at Liverpool.
I knew Jurgen Klopp from my time in Germany.
There are times when I watch Jurgen Klopp leaping around after Liverpool have scored and I think to myself: 'I wish that was me.'
As the population is, in general, aging, there is more interest in what a 50-year-old, a 60-year-old, a 70-year-old, an 80-year-old is like. And one of the things that just naturally started to happen as I got older - and I could feel younger people looking up to me in a certain way and wanting to know things that I knew - I got interested in the women, in particular, who were 20 years older than me. Because I understand in a way that I didn't 20, 30 years ago, how much they know.
I think everybody in this generation, and I'm the leading edge of the baby boom - I was born in 1946 - has benefitted from a 30-year explosion of debt, which created temporary but unsustainable economic prosperity and a financialization of the system through lower, and lower, and lower interest rates that has created massive rewards to speculation but not real investments so I benefitted from it. Almost everyone who has been in the market has benefitted but they didn't earn it.
I have no problem with Jurgen Klopp. In fact we have a great relationship, he transferred me from Mainz.
I think Jurgen Klopp is doing a great job at Liveprool. The style of play is the opposite of Guardiola.
Jurgen Klopp is certainly a great coach. I think he has demonstrated at Dortmund that he can suit any team in the world.
Jurgen Klopp is a genius.
When I see myself at 14 years old I can put my hands on my head and think: 'How could I have done that?' but at that time it had sense for me. You do the same when you're 20. And now, when you look at people who are 20 years old you ask yourself: 'Was I like that? Was I really like that?'
Jurgen Klopp is like my father.
A coach I admire? Jurgen Klopp. No doubt.
I have admired Jurgen Klopp for a long time because his teams play fantastic football, and he is a fantastic person.
You know what makes me feel old? When I see girls who are 20-something, or the new crop of actresses, and I think, Aren't we kind of the same age? You lose perspective. Or being offered the part of a woman with a 17-year-old child. It's like, "I'm not old enough to have a 17-year-old!" And then you realize, well, yeah, you are.
If I went back to my 20-year-old self, what I would tell my 20-year-old self is, 'You don't know anything.' Because everyone, when they're young, they think they know what's going on in the world, and you don't.
