As a footballer, I know I am a role model for a lot of African kids, and I want to make a direct impact on their lives.

There are only a few players who play in the same team all their career. You come from somewhere and go somewhere else.

Scoring goals is what I do best in my career.

I'm not really happy with my football career, but I can't complain about it, either.

I like naughty boys. I was married to David Bailey, who was one of the naughtiest. I like real men, and I like masculinity.

I had a baby and stayed home for a couple of years, and I was really casting about, thinking, 'What am I going to do?' My husband's view of it was, 'Stay home... We'll have more children; you'll love this.' And I was very restless about it.

The hypocrisy and false piety of the deniers aside, the relationships of gays have no effect on heteros. Especially all the heteros who've done such a marvelous job of debasing marriage on their own all these many years.

There's nothing wrong with taking yourself out of the dating pool. You don't need to be in a relationship because that's what society expects of you or because your grandmother thinks you need to be married by a certain date. Those days are over. Instead, take a step back and say, 'I'm OK alone.'
