Sam Kerr

People ask me, 'Do you think you're the best player in the world?' How do you answer that?

When I see young girls and boys who say they wore this, or cut their hair like this because I did, it's an amazing feeling.

I'll look at photos of myself, when I'm at awards or something, and kind of cringe because I can see myself trying to do what other people wanted me to.

Fashion is always going to be important in every sport.

Erin Cuthbert is the best at 'FIFA' for sure. She's a gamer. I'm not a gamer - I love 'FIFA,' but she's into the 'Fortnites,' the 'Call of Dutys,' and she loves 'FIFA!'

My Indian heritage is something I'm really proud of and I know my nanna's really proud that I'm representing young Indian girls whenever I go out there and play.

Anyone that's involved in football knows how hard it is to come back year after year and to stay at the top.

I love the big moment, love the big occasion.

Above all else, I need to try and stay focused on what I can control, rather than worrying about the things that I can't, especially when I'm under a lot of pressure during a tournament.

There have been lots of times when I'm upset because our team hasn't won, or when I'm feeling nervous and have zero confidence before a game. It's times like these when I try to use mind over matter to stay motivated and driven.

There have been lots of times throughout my career when I've felt down, stressed or under a lot of pressure, just like everyone does at some point in their lives.

There's one thing that drives me to eat well, look after my body and stay fit and healthy, that drives me to keep going even when things might not be going as well as I want them to. That one thing is winning.

Being No.1 is the goal, 100 per cent. It's everyone's goal.

Young girls look up to me and see that they can be themselves.

I feel like you let people down but that's something I've had to learn to accept now, that I can't give everyone what they want and that's OK, but I don't feel good about that.

You always want that as a kid - known as a sports star - but it can be a little front confronting at some times.

Football is 5% of my life.

I like sharing my story. I like sharing who I am outside of football.

We don't listen to the haters.

It's really nice to have someone in your life that challenges you to be the best you.

If I could do anything and be the best at it, I would love to be a singer. I love going out on stage and performing for people... but I can't sing, so I have no chance.

My passion for the game is something I'd love to continue to do.

I'm a very live in the moment type of person and I want to keep playing as long as I can.

It's a really nice thing for me to give back to the community and give things that I didn't necessarily have growing up.

I love the pressure, I love the big games, I love being able to have a moment in the palm of your hands and be able to do something great.

I have always liked those players that have just been entertainers.

It's something that I definitely want to get involved in, learning about my Indian heritage and culture.

We would love to win the Champions League, that's the one we want. I think every year that's what we shoot for.

I want to end my career, whenever that is, with as many trophies as I can and I think Chelsea's the best place to do that.

I remember when I first started playing for the national team, we didn't even have Matildas jerseys. So now, to be driving to games or seeing kids at shopping centres wearing my jerseys - even seeing my little nephews and nieces roll around in Kerr shirts - it's an amazing feeling.

That's always how I've been: a cheeky little person.

That's just the culture of the AFL - it's such a tough sport. As a kid, I was always playing footy, the boys were always tackling me, and I loved it! I think that's why I love it now when games get rough. It really fires me up.

I get more nervous sitting on the bench than walking out for a massive game.

The more my style has changed the more comfortable I've been in myself. The first thing that comes to mind is tomboy.

When I was younger I would try to fit into the 'girly mould' and as I've gotten older I've become more confident and I've allowed myself to wear things I feel comfortable and confident in.

I think the cool thing about Aussies is that we have a super close bond, and we have a lot of respect for each other.

I do like being in my comfort zone, everyone does!

I love the big-time players. I love LeBron James, Serena Williams, those players that are consistently at the top of their game.

I just do what I feel, whether it's right or wrong, and I'm very strong-willed, very stubborn.

I want to be someone that is entertaining, that's fun, that scores goals, does good celebrations.

Yeah, I think that Australia is a bit behind with the football world.

I think every time we sing the national anthem for our country, playing for the Matildas, it's such a big moment.

When you play for your club, it's all different nationalities, but, when you play for your country, everyone is so proud of being Australian.

When I'm at Chelsea, I'm just a normal player in the team and stepping into the captain with the Matildas, it's a bit different, but it's something I enjoy.

I've enjoyed 2017, it's been one of my most enjoyable seasons, and that's what I play football for. To have fun.

Football can change in a day, let alone in a year, so I'm just going to keep enjoying myself, keep working hard and I'm just motivated to do more.

I'm a striker so consistently scoring is your main goal and I'm just really happy that it's come together and I'm kind of proving to people that I can be an all-round striker - someone that creates goals and also scores them.

I'm older now and after a lot of injures I've had to become more of a professional; I have to take care of my body and do all the little things that add up.

Well Daniel would tell you himself, I didn't speak to him for two years. And all our family's close but me and Daniel are super-close.

I had to watch Mum and Dad be stressed out about their 30-year-old son, which isn't normal and it affected me. I'm pretty I guess tough in the sense that I don't let things bother me, but seeing my parents have to deal with It was probably the hardest thing.
