[My mother] was the strength of our family, and I didn't realize that until I got a little bit older.

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

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

There are so many different walks of life, so many different personalities in the world. And no longer do you have to be a chameleon and try and adapt to that environment - you can truly be yourself.

My father showed me so much love. He showed my brother so much love.

I need a life outside of soccer. So I very much welcome, you know, new love interests and dating and friends and family.

My family doesn't do happy endings. We do sad endings or frustrating endings or no endings at all. We are hardwired to expect the next interruption or disappearance or broken promise.
