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."

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.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't human and tears weren't rolling down my face and I wasn't pissed and I wasn't angry. There are lots of times that those emotions come out in my career.

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 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.

The harder you work and the more prepared you are for something, you're going to be able to persevere through anything.

Every time I step in between those lines, I'm in the zone. If you get between me and the ball, you might get smashed a couple times. Things happen, plays happen.
