I already worked with Van Gaal before at the Under-20 team back in 2001. He hasn't changed much as a coach since. He really stands out.

The trainer I learned most from about the field of play was Van Gaal, even though he's the one I've had the most confrontations with - well, disagreements. He's got an obsession with work ethic, the way he plans.

Mike Tomlin, man, is one of the realest coaches out there. He keeps everything real; he keeps it 100. He doesn't lie to you. He doesn't sugarcoat anything. And that's what I like about him.

You don't have to be straight. You just have to shoot straight.

I'm a "what you see is what you get" kind of guy. I don't have any time to be showing anybody any bag of tricks.

Very few people want to hear the truth. Bogie was like that, my mother was like that, and I'm like that. I believe in the truth, and I believe in saying what you think. Why not?

Speech devoted to truth should be straightforward and plain

Simple is the language of truth.

What I admire is people who are grounded and resistant to all kinds of whisperings. Kimi Raikkonen, for example. You may like him or not, but he lives his way. He does the things he has identified as worthy for him and he is not trying to be everybody’s darling. At least he doesn’t give that impression. He is straightforward and honest and he tells you if he has a bad day. Period. He is real. He’s not political. He’s never up to something. If he doesn’t want to tell you something he will say so and not hum and haw. He doesn’t beat around the bush, never coming to the point.

What you see is what you get.
