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

I have a problem with players who don't take the loss personally. At a professional level you should - it's our job, it's our livelihood, it's who we are at this level. Every loss should be taken that personal.

It was hard. I came to grips with a lot of difficulties that I've overcome. Each challenge kind of makes you who you are. It wasn't always a good thing. I have my own struggles in my life because of the things I was forced to overcome.

You can predict all you want, but everybody knows what predictions get you.

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 life goes in four-year cycles. The World Cup is every four years and the Olympics are every four years.

I think at an early age I learned not to judge people.
