My conviction is that a full professional also wants to live professionally.

You have to deal with a lot of things when you are a professional football player, and that is not so easy.

I have a philosophy. I was convinced of it, and by winning trophies in four countries, I proved the philosophy worked.

You are always evaluating. That philosophy is very important for me. Because of that, I am - or maybe I should say was - a very successful manager.

I'm looking forward to a long, fruitful career now behind the mic, staying around the sport I love so much and the sport that changed my life for the better.

There's nothing masculine about being competitive. There's nothing masculine about trying to be the best at everything you do, nor is there anything wrong with it. I don't know why a female athlete has to defend her femininity just because she chooses to play sports.

Acting is a sport - especially working with Mark Rylance. There is competition involved. I have to be muscular, challenging, get audiences on side. It's extraordinary how Globe audiences join in - it's like competing at an event - I love it.

Bam Bam Bigelow was an amazing athlete for his size.
