When I was born, there was a very isolated idea of what it meant to be a man or a woman, and you belonged to one gender or the other.

I truly thank whoever's up there for giving me the opportunity to be loved.

The earliest memories I have from my childhood are of my mum getting ready to go on stage. I must have been about five and I would watch her vomiting backstage on opening night, and then the next minute she became Isabella, the Queen of Spain. At the time I remember thinking, 'What kind of schizophrenic job is this?' Now it all makes sense.

I retired from rugby because I was old and getting really slow.

My truth - what I believe - is that there are no answers here and, if you are looking for answers, you'd better choose the question carefully.

I can't imagine what it would be like being James Bond 24 hours. That must be exhausting.

I've always said that playing rugby in Spain is like being a bullfighter in Japan.
