I want to see more girls coming in to the sport. There were actually a lot in Canada when I was riding there, but we can let girls know that they can be jockeys. And if they can't be jockeys, why can't they be owners or trainers? We need to invite girls in.

I think I'm the only professional horse rider from the movie industry. Strangely, I've seen no men from the industry at equestrian events. Though I've seen some ladies like Diya Mirza and Lara Dutta at the race course. Women, by the way, make superior horse riders.

It is incredible how far women have come and women in sports have come.

I'm excited to see the growth in women's cycling, and I think the Women's Tour has had a really positive impact on that change.

Well, if you look at the programme that we're offering, I think that is a future which is fair for women as well as men. We're still heavily outnumbered - we're still four to one in parliament - but we are pioneers! We are forging a new path.

We want more women players to take up chess. There are few participants at the national level and hope it will grow.

I have a great deal of respect for any women that will enter the world of little boys of sports.

When the Olympics and World Cups come around, that's when you see the real outpouring of support that there really is for female football.

It's a great moment for Argentinean tennis, more on the men's side. I would like to see more on the women's side. I think we have to work a little bit more on that.

Personally, I'd like us to have a few more women on the 'Today' programme.
