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

My entire purpose is trying to be the best in the game, and if that exudes beauty too, that's pretty powerful.

I hate the cliche of 'just have fun,' but what I've seen in today's sports, especially with parents, is they put so much pressure on the kids.

I try to live my life one day at a time, and if I look too far in advance, I get really stressed.

I played soccer all my life and I used to think growing up that they put the fat kid in goal or they put the kid that wasn't good with the ball at their feet in goal and I never wanted to do goalkeeper, I was always the goal scorer.

I think people who don't have conflict in their lives are just trying to please people and not really living life to the fullest.

All my life, since the time I was little, has been a long distraction. At least that is the way some people want to perceive it, but for me, it's given me a lot of strength.
