There are so many different walks of life, so many different personalities in the world. And no longer do you have to be a chameleon and try and adapt to that environment - you can truly be yourself.

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

Female athletes are supposed to be toned down. You're always supposed to talk about the team and never stand out.

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.

I still don't buy the idea that I'm a 'sex symbol.'

Everybody should be affected by their own realities in their own lives, their own struggles in their own lives. It makes us who we are, and we all know that.

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