People are always arguing: New York or L.A.? They're both great places, you know.

There are so many little places I want to play, sometimes weird places I think would be fun to play... a bar that's half full.

L.A.'s kind of, like, seven really cool towns. It's so laid-back. If you go in the right spot, you can walk around, and you don't need a car.

If you're in a bar and a certain song comes on and the vibe is just different, it evokes the kinds of things that you want to feel, and if music can do that it's a very special thing.

I love the atmosphere football brings; I love being around my teammates; I love the struggle in football. I love the fact that it is a part of my life. I don't look at it as any more important or less important as any other part of my life.

Though teenagers are generally very interested in sports, they must realise that education is the most important thing in their lives. They must find the right balance.

I work all the time; whatever I do, I do it, and I don't necessarily look at it as work. You could say the Auschwitz project was work, or the Lowy Institute is work, or Westfield is work, or the football is work. It is life.

I don't think the entire world respects women in sport. But if FIFA start respecting the women's game more, others will follow.
