Quote

I felt pride, wonderful pride, when I was captain. It was an honour to take over from Labby. Anybody who has ever captained a big club, which Everton are, will tell you it's a great honour.

I was conveniently bisexual for a long time, and then I went, 'Come on, who am I kidding?' And I have to say, it was the single biggest step I took toward emotional well-being, to stop feeling like I had to hide who I am.

We live in a patriarchal culture. It's okay for women to be objectified but not for men.

I'm from the South, so while I personally find it impossible to live there, I still have a fondness for it as a geographical region.

Happy relationships are boring. We all want them in our own life. But I don't want to watch them on TV.
