“When people ask me, 'Should I earn the same money as the men?' No, I don't believe I should because they're on a bigger scale than me, they have more fans, are more popular.”

“I used to look at my team-mates like Lindsay Johnson and Rachel Brown, who were full-time teachers and trained in the night. I was like, 'I'm not going to do that.' I always believed I'd go full time.”

“We were super successful under Mark Sampson because teams didn't expect us to play the way we played. We were so direct and played to people's strengths.”

“The competition for World Cup places is massive, and you can't just rest on what you've done in the past or anything like that.”

“If I wasn't the sort of character that I am, if I was shy, I would have been intimidated by it. I stood up to it; I used to have arguments every day in the street. I was constantly told I wanted to be a boy. People used to say I was a boy.”

“It's great for the little girls coming through the system now to have women to look up to because, when I was younger, my role models were more, like, Michael Owen and players from the men's team, but I get kids messaging me now saying they look up to me, and that's really touching for me, but it's great for the kids to have people to look up to.”

“It was a big step for me to take, going away from my family to go and play in a different culture, and I understand why people don't do it.”

“Yes, I've worked very hard and made sacrifices along the way, but I'm in the very privileged position of doing something that I love every single day - and earning a living from it.”

“In the past, we might have lost a game, and you get fans messaging you, saying, 'Ah, don't worry, you've done so well,' and it can be a bit patronising, do you know what I mean?”

“Tactics have changed a lot, but the standard is getting better.”

“I'm trying to create a better pathway for the next generation.”

“In England, I think we get about 30,000 for maybe an FA Cup final, and there are lots of kids on the seats, which is nice - don't get me wrong - but it's a calm atmosphere.”

“At City, you'd see Pep chewing someone's ear off about football and think, 'Wow. I'd love to ask a question, but I'd probably be there for a week.'”

“I think when I first went to Man City, they weren't very professional. They were just starting out, and the men's team had just invested a lot into women's team.”

“I believe the girls should be better paid but not the same as the men.”

“We want to take ourselves out of our comfort zones; when you're in your comfort zone for so long, you only play to a certain level.”

“I spent four years at Manchester City and won three trophies. It was a big wrench to leave.”

“It was tough, so hard; it really was horrible when I was growing up. I was called so many names, all sorts.”

“I'm very fortunate to have worked at two unbelievable clubs, Manchester City and Barcelona, and I feel like I've really changed the way I look at football from being around and in those environments, so I feel really privileged.”

“Some of the games in Spain... we played at the Wanda, which was amazing, but then the next week, they're creating a penalty spot 10 minutes before the game starts.”
