I learned to play chess at a young age, and I think that's where learning to plan things out and put things in position, that was the best thing for me.

The fans care about somebody who cares about them. It's not all about somebody who can put the ball in the cup. I think that's my calling.

So basketball has always taken me places that I could have never imagined.

Brussels is sort of a mini London in the sense that if you think about putting a football pitch in London, people laugh at you. There is just no space.

My personal style is really comfy: flats, tennis shoes, ponytails, no makeup.

No matter how much money you have or what kind of cocoon you live in, the reality is that you have lost a game of football and let England's fans down. We are bothered.

Whether I retire tomorrow or in 20 years, I just want to get as much out as I can. But with that, I have an understanding that basketball's not forever.
