I'm just going to embrace every experience.

I know that I'm breaking down barriers. And I know that in the end I'm doing a great thing.

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 never felt the same passion for the game in the States and there were a lot of headaches, a lot of obstacles to overcome - it didn't just run itself for the love of the game because soccer is not the No. 1 sport as it is in Europe.

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

People didn't put pressure on me. I just played for the love of the game.

A lot of people think I'm naturally confident. I am not naturally confident!
