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.

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.

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.

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.

I am somebody who... - I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I need that freedom, that ability to make mistakes out there. Because there's a fine line between making a mistake or being brilliant.
