Growing up with two sisters, you either play by yourself or play Barbie with them. I played by myself.

The NFL has been an amazing page in this chapter of my life. I pray that all successive adventures offer me the same potential for growth, success and most importantly fun.

I've always been attracted to things that are taboo. I've never been afraid to go to that dark place.

I like to live in places that are kind of off in the cuts so people can't really find me even if they wanted to.

All I can say is you don't know what's going to be on the front page of tomorrow's newspaper. So I take no joy in what happens to another sport, whether it's about a perfect game or an issue of conduct.

I am a member of a team, and I rely on the team, I defer to it and sacrifice for it, because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.

I spent most of my youth in Manchester, in clubs and football grounds and the Manchester Apollo.

When I was at drama school, I was totally broke, and a lot of my mates had jobs and were financially very good to me, so if, for example, I take them away on a trip to a football match in Europe, it means that I can pay them back a bit.
