My family has always been important to me.

I don't put faces on a dartboard. I just love the game, and I think I play it very well.

When people hear romantic songs, they fall in love.

Do you know what they say about big hands? Big gloves!

There used to be Engelbert dolls with sideburns. Now they sell Elvis dolls with the sideburns, but I don't begrudge him that.

I like Bruno Mars a lot. I think he's great.

My music has been my passport to the world, and it's been amazing for me.

I don't take my image seriously. I make fun of the fact that some people think I'm a romantic figure.

I've had many highs in my career, and Eurovision has been a wonderful experience.

When I first got successful, I was particularly aware of being immaculate at all times, so I would get on a plane in one outfit, and get off in another. It doesn't happen in today's world, but when you are met by the press at both ends, you do have to.

There is no harm in showing your feelings. It's not unmanly.

I've been to New Zealand before, many times. And of course it has a significance to me because I do have something that's very special in New Zealand. I have '10 Guitars,' which is a very popular song, and I understand it's like the second national anthem over there.

I played to the biggest audience I've ever played to in my life in New Zealand. I couldn't see the end of the crowd. I understand it was over 200,000 people in a park somewhere.

When I walk on stage, it's a release valve for me. Life is stressful anyway, so therefore, when I walk on stage, it releases all those stressful situations, and I feel good about myself.

I love what I do, and I'm glad that people still love what I do. I'm booked, I come there, I do my job, and I hope they like what I bring to them.

I have a very staunch following, and I've had fan clubs all over the world. And these people I term as my 'cheerleaders' - my 'spark plugs.'

I don't want to slow down. It's my life. I love being on the road and giving concerts.

When I first started singing, I didn't know which direction to take - I sang rock & roll and all kinds of things.

The job of an artist is to entertain and not get involved with politics. We give the people in the countries we are visiting a good show - that's the purpose of an entertainer.

If you don't put out material that's going to last, you're not going to last.

I think it's important to have a sense of humor. You have to be able to laugh at yourself.

If I'm in a city I haven't been in before, I believe if I go into a church and ask a favor, it will be granted. It's part of my belief, and that's what I do.

Sometimes it's easier to chase a title than it is to lead.

My father was a politician. My grandfather was a politician too, maybe it's an innate idea of representing people that we have in our family. I won't go into politics. I think I can provide the voice for the voiceless through law.

I was obsessed with the character Atticus Finch. I really liked the idea of having a voice for the voiceless, getting someone justice against the odds. That really resonated with me.

Something about the WSL is that the margins for error are very small. In the Premier League you can get away with losing a couple of games, but the women's league is so short and the leaders tend to set the bar so high that if you lose a couple of games your title hopes are over.

For all his tactical genius Guardiola is also a manager who can be patient and loyal, who backs players to come out of bad patches and hit golden patches.

We can be tackled but referees are there to police dangerous challenges. Forwards are protected by the laws of the game and the way it's played, while defenders and midfielders have to throw themselves about a bit more.

To stay healthy, I like to eat healthy food. For example a lot of meat, pasta, vegetables and I also have to drink a lot of water and drinks with electrolytes in them.

I really enjoyed my degree. But there's so many people I went to uni with that didn't.

Standing up for what you believe in and being honest, telling the truth are all very liberating things.

From a young age in England I felt technical skills were coached out of me. I remember when I was 15 doing a rainbow flick over a player's head in training and the coach telling me off and shouting: 'This is not the Eni show.' That discouraged me from expressing myself individually with the ball in that team again.

People have been very quick to judge young black players on their lifestyles and then when they go on to win the World Cup, to take league titles or score goals they're all of a sudden changed men. They haven't changed, people are just choosing to see them in a different way.

If young players are capable of playing 90 minutes every week at European clubs why prevent them from doing that?

Marta is one of my favourite players, and one of the best players I've had the privilege of coming up against, so I say this with the greatest respect: there are other players who were in a much stronger position to be named the best female player of 2018.

Just because someone doesn't have a silver spoon in their mouth doesn't mean they can't be highly intelligent.

It is dangerous to sit on your laurels, but a lot of the time you only have to add one or two people to the fringes of a winning team to improve it.

My favourite artist is Beyonce. I also like Jasmine Sullivan.

It is a certain type of guy who's OK with having a girlfriend who is better at football than him. It is actually problematic. Some guys really can't cope with it.

There is a risk women's football becomes the most popular spectator sport that fans tune into every four years but are not interested in parting with their money to watch the same players on their doorstep.

No one should feel comfortable venting racist abuse, whether from the stands or through media outlets. Just as fans must call out any fans they see hurling abuse, journalists must call out colleagues who perpetuate divisive rhetoric. Name and shame them.

I think obviously the men's game has a greater emphasis on physique and strength and speed. The women's game can be quite skilful and tactical by comparison.

I'm absolutely loving Turin's old, historical-city vibe, with the narrow, cobbled streets.

Look, the reality is that people will pay more for a match when Wayne Rooney is playing than when I am playing. I will never expect to be paid the same as Wayne Rooney, because I am not Wayne Rooney. And there's no getting around that.

With the big clubs embracing women's football and the professionalism you see at the likes of Liverpool, Birmingham, Arsenal and my club Chelsea, it's really impressive. We're making great strides.

I am proud to say I got 102 caps. I tweeted on the day of my 100th that I was 'grateful.'

Unfortunately for me, my England career has massively been soured. Even when I won my 100th cap, what people didn't see was everything that happened before that - which was me in floods of tears - because of how I felt it was handled.

I've been at Chelsea five years and been the butt of many jokes. And I give it back sometimes. That is the beauty of team spirit in a healthy dressing room. I'm not a sensitive, precious person.

I've played for boys' teams.

Eventually I will own my own company and will provide advice to athletes and artists from the entertainment industry.
