A Quote by Toni Duggan

Women's sport is changing all the time, no matter what role you play. No matter what part you play in a football club, women are getting a lot more opportunities, which is really positive.

In football, every play, play after play, there's that physicality. Football players only play once a week, so they must really need to rest. That does kind of tell you how physical the sport is. But in hockey, you have the boards. I just couldn't say which is more physical.

Sidney Crosby

We need to do a better job of mentorships and role models to bring other young women along so that there's more women in our boardrooms, there's more women here in the United States Senate and in Congress. I think there's an important role for women to play.

Catherine Cortez-Masto

It's not good enough to believe women matter if they only matter in the U.K. They have to matter everywhere. As long as there's an idea that women don't matter in the world, then all women are diminished.

Cherie Blair

I want to play positive role models - women who mean something to other women.

Agyness Deyn

All religions, they play football - even nowadays all girls and women have the right to play football in cultures like the Arabic countries in the Muslim they play football.

Sepp Blatter

I seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are strong women. It's like people see Hackers and they send me offers to play tough women with guns, the kind who wear no bra and a little tank top. I'd like to play strong women who are also very feminine.

Angelina Jolie

It happens a lot that women have to play the girlfriend role, which isn't as three-dimensional as the male role.

Georgina Campbell

The characters that I want to play are interesting women. I don't care if they're good women or bad women or vulnerable women or women with a lot of faults or women that we dislike intensely who are malicious.

Gwendoline Christie

I think sport can play a really positive role in young girls' lives and be great to see as many of them playing sport as possible.

Ellyse Perry

Women are the same. We watch football; we play football. Why wouldn't we be out there giving our opinions on the sport ,too?

Alex Scott

The way that I'm feeling the shift in movie industry is that women are allowed to be part of the development process. So I do feel like things are changing because I'm allowed to option books or write an original screenplay or direct. Those possibilities are really wide open. I think that males still struggle to write for females, which is totally fine because I don't think I could write a really impactful male role because that's not the life that I lived. So we'll just keep shouting and say we need more opportunities for not just women but people that are just different.

Brie Larson

Every time I smacked my right foot to the ground I couldn't absorb shock. So no matter what, I've thought about this a lot, it doesn't matter what my life in football would have looked like, it was so traumatic for me that I just couldn't play the game I loved. And I didn't know how to handle that as a teenager.

Emma Hayes

More than anything tough, I play 'Madden'. I'm a football guy at heart; maybe I should have played football for a living instead, because I play a lot of football videogames. I'm really into them.

Jason Kidd

A lot has evolved and changed in women's sport in the last 10 years - particularly football and cricket. So, I think my timing, in terms of being able to play both for a while, was fortunate.

Ellyse Perry

I have to bide my time, train well and still play well at club level and whenever my time comes to be more of a regular... but I'm just getting on with it. If I play, I play; if I don't, I don't, but then I will work harder to try get into the team.
