Everybody has down times and stuff that they have to work through. I worked through that stuff because I've always wanted to be playing soccer.

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

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.

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

To be the key player in creating and scoring goals, that's what I take pride in, and the thing I know how to do best.

You can't ask every player to do the same thing. That's why we have amazing midfielders, defenders, forwards and keepers. You can't ask them to be of the same mold.
