I can't recall if I dropped the phone. I got a knot in my stomach. I literally went numb. When I saw the Ballon d'Or page, I couldn't believe it. I don't know if I was excited, happy or crying. It was so surreal. I have so many feelings and I try not to think about it because it gets me emotional.
I've achieved so much in my career but I don't think this will ever be replaced. It's going to open doors for South Africans to start thinking and dreaming bigger. We've got the talent and ability but we pull ourselves down. I feel like I've already won even if I don't make the top three.
It shows the talent we have in the country. Ronwen is going to be an example. I want to hear people saying I want to be like Ronwen Williams, not like [Lionel] Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.
