A Quote by Emma Hayes

When I was 17 I did a B License and had no opportunities in the U.K. so I opted to go abroad and work in America for 10 years where the understanding of female coaches was very different to England.

Yoko had 10 years and I had 10 years and I would rather have had the 10 years I had than the ones she did. I had the raw talent and the raw human being, before the sycophants arrived.

Cynthia Lennon

England's very different. I was at Barcelona for 10 years, and it's another world.

Gerard Deulofeu

I've come from a very masculine country to a feminine country. England was very masculine; people went from England to abroad, and they landed from above and they said "These are the gods you will worship, these are the crops you will grow, now go away and do it." Which is a manly attitude. Americans go abroad and they say, "Try not to quarrel so much", which is a feminine attitude.

Quentin Crisp

I left England when I was 19 for two years travelling on my own and since then I've always had an urge to go abroad.

Rick Stein

I did almost take a job in China because I thought it might be good for me to go abroad and experience what I think the best coaches in the Premier League have had. It helps you learn. You have to evolve.

Alan Pardew

I had plenty of opportunities before I went to Spain to stay in England, and I had made a decision that I would go and work in Spain.

David Moyes

I realize that Kenya and America are very different, but experiences like this warned me that my own favorite beliefs in the miracles of free enterprise and the boundless opportunities to be had in America were largely untrue.

Chris Coons

I want to support other women because of the opportunities I've had - and I've had a lot of opportunities. What I try as a female director is to do the best job I can and, in the meantime, bring attention to as many other female directors and writers as I can.

Angelina Jolie

I remained basically anonymous for almost 17 years. I, in those 17 years, I tried to commit suicide a couple of times. I was very ashamed of what I had done, and I was looking for forgiveness not only from God but from myself.

Norma McCorvey

...what happened in New York and Washington is the same thing that England and America did to Berlin every day for three years during World War II -- and Germany did the same thing to England.

Lemmy Kilmister

I did go to Beijing, with a two-year assignment. I stayed four years. And those four years were the most formative four years in my life. What I learned was more than I would have learned in 10 years in America or Europe, and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Dinesh Paliwal

I was perhaps about 10 years old when a local farmer rang us up to say he had found a young badger and would we take it in. So we did; it was a female called Bessy and she lived in the boiler room. She was extremely intelligent, had a very low opinion of cats but loved the dogs. She was pretty well trained; she went in the car.

Owen Paterson

During the last 17 years... I have been working at the restoration of a once exhausted hillside. Its scars are now healed over, though still visible, and this year it has provided abundant pasture, more than in any year since we have owned it. But to make it as good as it is now has taken 17 years. If I had been a millionaire or if my family had been starving, it would still have taken 17 years. It can be better than it is now, but that will take longer. For it to live fully in its own responsibility, as it did before bad use ran it down, may take hundreds of years.

Wendell Berry

I had been in 760 performances of 10 different Shakespeare plays by the time I was 17.

Sam Wanamaker

But it's different in England. We have different players from different races, even in the lower leagues. They don't have that in some places abroad.

Rhian Brewster

We need clubs to take risks to hire the right candidates. At the end of the day, there aren't a lot of female coaches that have the top-level license and the coaching experience but that will change.
