I don't do resolutions, as I am a rebel without a cause in that respect - I always break them by the second of Jan.!

One of my first memories is running up and down the theatre at Wakefield Opera House.

Nobody forces you to work at Wal-Mart. Start your own business! Sell something to Wal-Mart!

There aren't many English managers, I suppose, who've had the sort of career that I've had, outside the country. With the amount of money that is going around in the Premier League, not many people are tempted to move abroad.

As a kid, I liked to write, but I didn't think that was a viable career choice. My dream, actually, was to be a white girl rapper and join Salt-N-Pepa - which obviously was a much more viable career choice.
