English players are probably scared to come abroad. They are in a comfort zone in England: that's where we grew up; that's where we played in youth teams.

When you're growing up and thinking about being a footballer, you want to make as many caps and play as many games as you can.

My best memory was probably scoring a penalty against Manchester United.

I want to continue to win things, hopefully something with England, and if I can score the winning goal at the World Cup, then maybe they will like me again.

I'm an athlete and I'm black, and a lot of black athletes go broke. I do not want to become a statistic, so maybe I overcompensate. But I'm paranoid. Oprah told me a long time ago, 'You sign every check. Never let anyone sign any checks.'

My whole life, I've felt like I can do anything on the basketball court, from playing point guard in high school to having to play center one year in high school, doing everything in college and going through different roles in Philadelphia.

That's one thing that I've always wanted: to make my own decisions and not to be pushed. That has happened in my career, and I wanted to leave football, not football to leave me. I wanted to enjoy it as much as I could and to leave it a little bit earlier than too late.

There are lots of women tennis players, for instance, but because not many of them seem to have much personality, they're interchangeable. You don't have a feeling about them.
