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.

Once your name gets out, people just want to crack you.

My mom was always the supplier of soccer balls, and so people were always knocking on my door, and trying to get me out so we could play.

It's awesome where I am right now. It's a lot of people's dream. I'm going to take full advantage of it.

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.

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.

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.
