Nov 07, 2020

Being away with a national side at a tournament can be hard - you train, go back to your hotel, and often, you sit in your room, watching TV or speaking to people at home. If there's no communal area, it can feel like being in prison, staring at the same four walls all the time.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was in charge of the music in every team I played for, and that is a huge responsibility, believe me!

Nov 07, 2020

During the 2012 Olympics, I decided to put on some cheesy pop because I knew Ellen White liked it. The first song was 'Reach for the Stars' by S Club 7, and before I knew it, everyone was singing it - suddenly it was our song.

Ferdinand
|
Nov 07, 2020

I want people - boys and girls - to be sat at home watching me alongside the likes of Rio Ferdinand or Frank Lampard, thinking that it's normal, that we all know what we're talking about, and that they're not judging me at home just because I'm a female.

Myself
|
Nov 07, 2020

You'll be someone's favourite, and someone else is going to hate you, aren't they? I know that I can't please everyone, but what I can do is be myself and be true to my values.

Nov 07, 2020

I played in three World Cups, and I would say that it was the last one that I enjoyed the most.

First World
|
Nov 07, 2020

The first one is your first World Cup, so you go into it with a lot of pressure, trying to take it all in, but you are just so focused.

Female
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't want to be regarded as a female pundit. I'm a pundit.

Nov 07, 2020

I've always been a strong presence on social media. That's how I've connected with my fans, and in doing that, I'm allowing them to win.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

Not everyone agrees. If you disagree with me, I want you to tell me, and I'm going to come back and tell you why it's my opinion.

Football Field
|
Nov 07, 2020

I never want anyone to think I've been given a helping hand. I've always worked for everything, whether it be on the football field or away from it.

Attitude
|
Nov 07, 2020

My attitude as a footballer was to always be prepared - make sure you're the fittest and know who you're up against. And that's exactly how I treat the media side.

Football
|
Nov 07, 2020

Some people don't like change. Some embrace it. But the way it's going - not just in football, but in society generally - it's more diverse. People want freshness.

I Can
|
Nov 07, 2020

I know what I do, I know I can play football, and I know I can talk about it.

Football
|
Nov 07, 2020

My mum never once tried to push me into something different, even though there was no way of making a living out of women's football. She supported me because she saw I was happy and that it gave me a focus to not be hanging around on the street.

Men
|
Nov 07, 2020

I may not have played men's football, but I've been at World Cups as a player. I know the emotions. I've been in quarter finals, a semi-final. I'd been substituted and sat on the bench watching us lose a penalty shoot-out. I know what happens, what you need when the pressure's on.

Nov 07, 2020

I remember when I first got into the England side, going to meet ups where you were just doing a job, you were almost looking to go back to your clubs as soon as you arrived. That changed. The Lionesses got the feel of a club; it was a place you wanted to be, a set-up you couldn't wait to join.

Being
|
Nov 07, 2020

Being a footballer was about analysing performance, never being satisfied, seeing what lessons you can learn and who you can learn from.

Ferdinand
|
Nov 07, 2020

I like the way Frank Lampard articulates, like the fact Jamie Carragher really does his homework and the way Rio Ferdinand has been able to show his personality while giving those insights.

Nobody
|
Nov 07, 2020

All I know is two wrongs do not make a right. And nobody's perfect; ain't nobody right all the time.

Happy
|
Nov 07, 2020

If my dog Ella, named after the Rihanna song 'Umbrella', could be with me at all times, that would make me happy.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

When things don't happen in my life, I believe that I've been pushed into another path for a reason, and there's a bigger picture.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

My hardest lesson has been my most fruitful, too: that when people don't believe in me, I can prove them wrong.

Next
|
Nov 07, 2020

I didn't want to come to the end of my career and think, 'What next?'

Giving
|
Nov 07, 2020

Women are the same. We watch football; we play football. Why wouldn't we be out there giving our opinions on the sport ,too?

Look
|
Nov 07, 2020

Even when I play in World Cups, I don't look at things like that. It's something that I want to be doing, so why would I put extra pressure on myself? I'm just going to go out there and enjoy it.

Football
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've been in football since I was eight. Of course I know what I'm talking about.

People
|
Nov 07, 2020

I loved getting messages from people saying they were watching during the World Cup with their son or daughter, and they could see they could be involved, too. That was so powerful.

Dad
|
Nov 07, 2020

My dad left home when I was super young, so it was my mum bringing me and my brother up.

Life
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I was going off to training and matches at Arsenal, my mum wouldn't be on the side cheering me on: she'd be working so I'd have football boots. I saw that you had to work hard if you wanted to do anything in life.

Girl
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm that girl - I've never been camping; I don't even go to festivals because I hate the cold and the rain. If it starts to rain, I'm the first one on the training field to go in and get a hat!

First
|
Nov 07, 2020

My first thought for the off season is to go somewhere hot and on the beach.

Men
|
Nov 07, 2020

We don't really compare ourselves to the men's game or what they do. For us, it's about trying to get more people involved in the women's games.

Footballer
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I started, when I was eight, I never thought I would make a career out of being a woman footballer.

Football
|
Nov 07, 2020

I'm just happy I get paid to train every day and play football. I can't ask more than that.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

I watch a lot of live music, and I love the theatre, especially musicals.

Nov 07, 2020

Facts
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's always a responsibility as a pundit, whether you're male or female: the way you present yourself, making sure you've got your facts right.

I Am
|
Nov 07, 2020

Sure, I do feel I am an ambassador for women's football. But that hasn't changed. It's been like that since I started at eight years old. I'm still me.

Football
|
Nov 07, 2020

The U.S.A. have a 'football arrogance,' which means winning is in their DNA - nothing else is good enough.

Look
|
Nov 07, 2020

If a player wants to be the best, then they also need to give themselves a talking-to. You need to look inwards.

Nov 07, 2020

My body shape has transformed as sports science research has developed. It used to be thought that footballers needed to be big and do lots of weights and little cardio.

Gym
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've adopted that mentality: every day I do weights and core in the gym in the morning and train on the field in the afternoon. And I'm strict with my diet - I include protein in every meal and snack.

Nov 07, 2020

When I played for Boston Breakers in my early twenties, I really stepped up my training, which meant running drills until you're sick.

Food
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I was younger, my food and fitness were less controlled - I just loved football.

Education
|
Nov 07, 2020

Most of my football education was under Hope Powell, and were some of her training sessions boring? Yes. But were they necessary? Yes. We fully understood what we needed to do as a defensive unit.

Make
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't like to make comparisons between former managers because they all bring a unique style.

Players
|
Nov 07, 2020

We need to give our goalkeepers the same level of training that we've given to our outfield players.

Down
|
Nov 07, 2020

I knew that, to be the best right-back in the world, I had to improve my fitness so I could run up and down constantly for 90 minutes.

Football
|
Nov 07, 2020

To walk out at Wembley in an England shirt is a big deal for a girl who remembers playing in her local football cage down the park in Poplar with the boys.

Getting
|
Nov 07, 2020

I don't get wrapped up in the politics of going down to win a penalty or getting an opponent sent off.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

Although more teams are going full-time professional and there's more money involved, our main incentive is simply to play for the love of the game.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

Football made me want to train and stay disciplined. It kept me away from things like drugs. Young people are faced with the temptation to stray all the time.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

The enjoyment of playing football gave me a positive pathway, but I could have taken a very different path.

Matter
|
Nov 07, 2020

No matter what happens to our game, money won't be a motivation for me.

Never
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was never motivated by money. I wanted to be an FA Cup finalist. I wanted to walk up the steps at Wembley. I wanted to win the league. I still only ever want to win trophies.

Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

I see I'm changing the game and opening doors for others, from my beginning from the east end of London. It's not a sob story; it made me the person I am today. It's seeing kids from any area or background you're from. There's a chance; you can make it.

Football
|
Nov 07, 2020

For me, football is football. I'm a fan; I'm passionate. I feel lucky to be in the position that I am.

Nov 07, 2020

Football is for everyone, no matter what background you're from, what age, what level you play at. This is what it's all about: coming out today, having a good time, and getting involved.

Love
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was fortunate enough to play in a number of finals, and I can still remember waking with butterflies in my stomach. It is at moments like those you realise why you fell in love with football in the first place.

Always
|
Nov 07, 2020

Every player has their own story, but I always thought of playing on my estate with dreams of what I might be able to achieve.

Emotion
|
Nov 07, 2020

You have to listen to the anthems, allow the emotion to come, but then need to snap back into the match and your specific task.

Nov 07, 2020

The knockout games of a major tournament are when you see players' true characters.

Nov 07, 2020

I have played in matches where individuals have frozen and gone into their shells: they don't want the ball, they don't communicate, and they don't do their jobs. Fear turns them to stone.

Enthusiasm
|
Nov 07, 2020

In the 2007 World Cup, Kelly Smith went to another level, scoring twice against Japan and dragging the team forward with an infectious enthusiasm. She changed the dynamic, and we all followed her lead.

Football
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I was in the GB Women's football team at the 2012 Olympics, it was obvious who was in the first XI and who was making up the numbers. Kelly Smith was going to be first-choice striker no matter what, and the other forwards in the squad mentally checked out as a result.

Difficult Thing
|
Nov 07, 2020

Putting the need of your team above personal self-interest is a difficult thing to do.

Hope
|
Nov 07, 2020

I was an attacking full-back but was told by Hope Powell to just sit back when we played U.S.A. in the 2007 World Cup. It's hard to rein yourself in, but the team comes first.

Down
|
Nov 07, 2020

I've realised that there is no magic trick to television; it just comes down to hard work and being prepared for every appearance and trying to get your point across as clearly as possible.

Feel
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I finished playing, I didn't think I would be able to replace the buzz you feel at kick-off, but when the light on top of the camera turns red, and you're about to go live to the nation, it is a very similar feeling.
