If you qualify for a World Cup and expect to get an easy group, you are in the wrong sport. It doesn't work like that.

If you told me to sit in a room, and you had a million dollars cash stacked right there and said, 'Don't move, don't twitch, don't do anything,' without a doubt, the million dollars would be mine.

Confidence is on one side of the line, and self-belief is on another. People all think those are mixed up.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

I'm a big action junkie. I grew up on the '80s action movies - the bad ones and the good ones.

My first career ambitions involved turning into a boy; I intended to be either a railway guard or a knight errant.
