A Quote by Chris Martin

I want young girls to dream about being professional soccer players instead of just watching the boys go out and play.

To be fair, when you are really young, you don't think about the future too much. You just want to play with your friends. When you get older, you start to dream about being there, about being at a top team, so of course it's a dream to be at a team like Manchester United.
But the dream is never forgotten, only put aside and never out of reach: Where once the dream connected boys with the world of men, now it reconnects men with the spirit of boys.
I've never thought about any kind of prejudice about women in country music because I never felt like it affected me.
