My life is a beautiful struggle.

I think the concept of seeking fame and fortune in women's football in the States is a bit idyllic.

I'm just going to embrace every experience.

I like to read books and be alone; I'm not social butterfly person.

When the Olympics and World Cups come around, that's when you see the real outpouring of support that there really is for female football.

As women professional athletes, you have to have respect for every player and individual. Beyond that, it doesn't matter what your interests are. People can have their own lives.

It's a complicated thing, knowing how much pain my father caused in my life and the lives of others whom I love, yet still holding love for him in my heart. No matter what he did, he was my father. He helped create the person I am.
