My first professional role was in 'Romeo and Juliet,' and I played Tybalt, who was Romeo's enemy, in a small production of that in the U.K.

I had to go to Hollywood to recharge my career.

I've been fortunate enough to travel the world because of my career, but the downside has been spending long spells apart from my daughters.

There's a wealth of literature out there which, hopefully, will be, you know, exploded in the future, and I personally find it very rewarding to be involved with classic storytelling, and sort of legendary characters.

I had a totally different upbringing, totally different background, raised in Germany, small town, now I am in London taking care of 180 kids who think they are the one percent who can make it in professional football.

Even though I am not going to coach in the future, if I had to pass on a recommendation, it would be to base your game on having a strong defence.

I'm proud of the fact that besides being known as a successful former football player, I've also worked hard to establish myself as a successful businessman, network broadcaster, sports & entertainment executive and philanthropist.

Any football player will tell you that in July you get this dark cloud over you if you know camp's coming.
