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.

My No. 1 goal, and what I've spent my entire life striving to achieve is to win a World Cup. I want to retire so badly with that World Cup, but if I don't, then I'll retire knowing that I've done everything I could to get it.

True heros are made of hard work and integrity.

On a global stage, I have respect in the goalkeeping world.

In truth, 2007 was the hardest year of my life. I lost my best friend. I lost my father.

I usually tell people I watch like '24' and 'Prison Break.'

There are no shortcuts. If you feel good, you'll look good, you'll play good. Work hard every day. No matter what your strengths and weaknesses, there's no substitute for hard work.
