Playing on the right isn't a role I prefer, but sometimes you've got to do your job for the team.

Football is generally a working-class sport, and because of the fact I went to private school and was brought up slightly differently, people think that makes me a different person.

At a club like Chelsea, they have the money to buy world class strikers like Diego Costa, and there's also that pressure to win trophies. I just have to stick with it, be patient, and hopefully my rewards will come.

There's a massive difference between playing Under-21 football and being on the bench at Chelsea, and playing every week in a league where you are playing for people's livelihoods and helping to pay their mortgages.

Balancing schoolwork and basketball was very, very hard, but a lot of benefits came along with it.

When you get into these NFL rushers - the power, the speed, the bull rush, and all those kind of things - it's just different than college football.

For me, trying the NFL and trying this football thing, because of the home and what I went through in there, to me, it was no big deal. It was just another opportunity for me. I didn't see that bigger, grandiose picture of it, I just took it one day at a time, like how I took it in the group home.

I was a tomboy growing up, and an athlete.
