When you feel comfortable you carry yourself in a way that means you can be your true self.
Leah Williamson
I've got loads of inspirational people I've always looked up to, really strong women, who don't necessarily play football. I didn't want to be them, and I didn't want to do what they did. But they still inspired me to be me.
Leah Williamson
I'm a 'prove it to deserve it' person.
Leah Williamson
I'm studying accounting to secure my future.
Leah Williamson
My dad always said to me that he hoped there would be a wage, so that I could be a footballer as a job. The game has blown up. The opportunities that now come with it, obviously we benefit from them, but it's never been what I thought I was going to grow up into - the complete landscape has changed.
Leah Williamson
Yeah, I think society has changed and women's sport has reaped the benefits from it. Women's sport pushes those social norms as well and it's this thing of 'we're here and we're not going anywhere.'
Leah Williamson
I'd like to make sure that young girls feel like following their dream will be worth it and will pay off. I also want people to see the real strength of a woman when she has the backing of her team.
Leah Williamson
If you are being different, it means you are focused on doing what you want to do and what makes you happy rather than what other people want you to do.
Leah Williamson
I want young girls to see football as an option.
Leah Williamson
We need to make it easier for girls from different backgrounds to access football.
Leah Williamson
The way I see it is: if you choose not to play football that is a good thing, because it means you had the choice in the first place!
Leah Williamson
For me to wear an England badge would have always been enough.
Leah Williamson
I'm pretty sure if men had periods we would have figured out a way to stop them by now without doing any damage.
Leah Williamson
Having an endometriosis flare up is a big fear when you get to a tournament not injured.
Leah Williamson
The life that we live, we're not rich, we're not wealthy. We live normal lives and we do a sport that's so high profile.
Leah Williamson
Islington, North London is just a magical place and I think Arsenal is core to it.
Leah Williamson
With Arsenal, we've been a classy club and act with class, it's a core value of the club and that's what makes me proud.
Leah Williamson
My family are very sporty people and then when I was younger, I had a love for Thierry Henry at Arsenal and Kelly Smith so that was kind of the dream.
Leah Williamson
The most important thing is that girls get equal access because you are then giving them the opportunity to choose to play football. That's the biggest barrier - that was the biggest barrier for me. Accessibility is the first step and the funding gives us that but we can't just throw money at things and see what happens.
Leah Williamson
When I was growing up there were plenty of boys' teams around. But the problem was that not many of the coaches wanted a girl playing in their teams. Some would make up an excuse by saying that their teams were full and there was no space for me. While no one told me 'no' to my face, it felt like I wasn't entirely welcome.
