In truth, 2007 was the hardest year of my life. I lost my best friend. I lost my father.

It's all in fun. I take everything with a grain of salt.

I've always been a fan of Justin Timberlake.

When the Olympics and World Cups come around, that's when you see the real outpouring of support that there really is for female football.

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.

Everybody should be affected by their own realities in their own lives, their own struggles in their own lives. It makes us who we are, and we all know that.

With each year that's gone by, and as I grow up and get older, I've become more mature, of course, but you have a sense of who you are, and you find confidence in that.
