Just because I've got blonde hair and haven't been to Bosnia doesn't mean I'm a bimbo. I am still a serious journalist.

And getting married this autumn was certainly an additional incentive to spend rather more time in England.

Friends are very understanding when you tell them in April that you can see them next September, but there is a limit to how long you can go on like that.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

Where does it stop? You get offered money for your wedding, then for your kids, new houses, holidays... We earn enough from football and sponsorships, why do you need any more?

I've always been very determined, ever since I was a little girl, to make my way.
