Playing for my country is the pinnacle of anyone's career. There's a major tournament coming up so I'm looking forward to being a part of that.

Had I not become a footballer, I think I would have been... a virgin.

If I wasn't a footballer, I would be a virgin

I've got my own targets... To establish myself in the team and once you are a regular for Liverpool then England, recognition comes from that and hopefully this will prove the case.

I usually wear moulded boots for training, but I mainly wear studs in matches unless it s really dry.

My dad got me my first pair of boots. It was a big occasion for us to go to the shopping centre. It was an exciting time to make sure you got the right ones.

I wouldn't be here if I didn't believe I was good enough to be here and hopefully I can perform well for my club and try and get to the World Cup.

I am thrilled to be joining a club as prestigious and successful as Liverpool.

I always stick with the same pair if I am on a scoring streak. I wouldn't change them until I go a game without scoring.

I ve got a boot boy from the Youth team. His name s Kudos - he's a good lad and has been looking after me for a few years.

I think I was 5ft 9in at birth.

We're not moments, Megan, you and me. We're events. You say you might not be the same person you were a year ago? Well, who is? I'm sure not. We change, like swirling clouds around a rising sun.

I adore clothes - they're my weakest link! My mother was the same, and she taught me always to look polished.

I think that one thing fiction can offer, and must offer, is a place where someone's mind and their imagination can come to rest for a little while.

Louis Armstrong could only happen once - for ever and ever. I, for one, appreciate the ride.

No matter what you do, you're always hearing something.

As you get older, you shouldn't waste time drinking bad wine.

I tend to only write productively for one to two hours per day, so there is plenty of time left over for me to work a day job!

Playing an old record doesn't interest me at all. It's exactly the opposite of what I want to do.

I call myself a Peaceful Warrior... because the battles we fight are on the inside.

Of course the theory of evolution would be vacuous if it offered a glib explanation for every inexplicable act.
