I need to be in a stable environment right now in my career. What I mean by that is a place where I can play and not have too much pressure on me and a place I can develop. Monaco wanted me and did whatever they could to get me so I feel very very good about that.

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

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.

You can't do anything to help your team win when you don't play.

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.

Nothing has been given to me.

If you're good enough, you're old enough.
