I think everything happens for a reason and all the things that happened to me - good, bad - I'm glad they did. It's made me ready for life, for adulthood.

I need to go play football. I don't care about anything else.

I wanted to get us a place of our own with a little bit more space. The kitchen is just huge, because my mom... lives there, man, and she loves being in the kitchen.

All I can say is, hey, if you have fun doing what you do, if you have fun playing soccer, the creativity is just going to come as time goes on.

When you play soccer, most of the time you got to get the ball moving, but once you get into that attacking third you gotta be creative, you gotta let your talent take over.

I feel the pressure but I embrace it. Whatever I have to do to make the sport catch on to other people, I'll do it.

That's the dream. Being on the U.S. National team and winning the World Cup. I'll take the win anyway I can get it.
