As women professional athletes, you have to have respect for every player and individual. Beyond that, it doesn't matter what your interests are. People can have their own lives.

One thing I've learned in life is that I can speak for myself, that I can fight my own battles. I don't like anyone telling me how I'm supposed to feel or think or what I'm supposed to say.

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

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