Its not like you make a decision and everything inside you is 100 percent happy.

When it's game situation, when it's game day, game time, when it's World Cup, when it's these tournaments that happen once every so often, I live for that, I live for that challenge.

If you are passionate about something, that will enable you to be the best you can be.

I couldnt change who I am; I couldnt change the kind of player I am.

The game of soccer has been able to give me what I wanted out of life. I just remember being a total Tomboy and athlete as a girl, but never having a lack of opportunity.

Coaches give you too much information. Ive been allowed to develop that intuitive ability in my career and lifetime.

Soccer's not a game that you can restrict players, especially creative players and players who have proven themselves at that level.
