Playing in Wembley Stadium in front of 83-some-thousand fans to win a gold medal was unreal. I think, male or female, that was a record number.

When I first met him [James Galanis], he just said, "Look, if you want to be a professional soccer player, if you want to make the national team, you have to do everything possible to work hard. You’ve got to put it number one."

I'm honest. If people aren't putting in the effort, I will definitely let them know because I think that that can only help them.

I don't get too upset or bent out of shape from things that go on on the field. But I think that you always want to try to keep it classy. You don't want to do any stupid fouls, and sometimes - sometimes the game gets to you; people react differently.

You have to fight harder, dig deeper, and prove all the doubters wrongs.

I think that I'm just on such a mission with my career that you don't really get to stop and think about your jersey number too often.

Work hard at everything you do. Never give up. Never quit. Many people have talents but without the hard work you won't get anywhere.
