It's a complicated thing, knowing how much pain my father caused in my life and the lives of others whom I love, yet still holding love for him in my heart. No matter what he did, he was my father. He helped create the person I am.

I think the concept of seeking fame and fortune in women's football in the States is a bit idyllic.

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

I think every athlete has their window of opportunity, and you just have to jump on it. You never know when it can end. So I'm just trying to live large while I have the opportunity.

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

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

In front of the world, all of a sudden I'm a great athlete and I'm put into an environment with 25 other women and I'm expected to go to team meals, team functions.
