I want to be good at what I do, obviously, and to do that I need to keep my head straight.

You can teach all the other stuff, you know. You can teach shooting the ball, you can teach having a good touch... passing and whatnot, but when you get out there on the field, it's just a mindset you need to go into the game with.

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.

My image is very important to me. I want to bring a good face to my family. That's the way I've been raised.

It helps to have someone in the same boat as you... There's a lot of pressure, so it helps to have someone who's also young and famous and has a lot of pressure to succeed.

A lot of players in Europe aren't as tall as the other guys, so they have to be stocky to physically compete.

I would love to play for Real Madrid. And I want to win a World Cup for the U.S. so bad. When the women won it, everybody went crazy. I would love to be part of something like that.
