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

I know I can't dance. I am the worst dancer. I have no rhythm. I just do step-and-snap. I love it in the privacy of my own home and every once in a while at a club. But singing and dancing are my two greatest fears.

My father was never around. But I glorified my father, and I was always daddy's little girl. He was my first soccer coach.

When I did 'Dancing With the Stars,' everyone in Hollywood was saying I had too much muscle.

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

I always just had a dream to spend more time with my father. But at the end of the day, my mom was the one who kept me in soccer,who kept me doing my homework, who provided me with meals on a daily basis.

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.
