I just want to stay in my hotel room, read my book. I enjoy that private time.

I have no personal beef with Brandi Chastain. There's nothing personal.

I know I can't dance. I am the worst dancer. I have no rhythm. I just do step-and-snap. I love it in the privacy of my own home and every once in a while at a club. But singing and dancing are my two greatest fears.

In front of the world, all of a sudden I'm a great athlete and I'm put into an environment with 25 other women and I'm expected to go to team meals, team functions.

I've had marriage proposals, invitations to military balls and even a few prom offers from 18-year-old boys.

You can predict all you want, but everybody knows what predictions get you.

Nobody really knows who I am, where I came from, what's in my heart, why I believe in the things I believe, what I see behind the scenes and they don't see.
