Speech is the image of actions

My life is a beautiful struggle.

I take everything with a grain of salt.

I have a lot of critics; we all know that.

I'm just going to embrace every experience.

I've always been a fan of Justin Timberlake.

I am going to be a professional soccer player.

True heros are made of hard work and integrity.

I live for competition. It makes my life complete.

I love pedicures. And, yes, I have a ton of shoes.

I travel a lot and rarely make it home to Seattle.

I have given my life to the game and to the sport.

I still don't buy the idea that I'm a 'sex symbol.'

I don't just want to focus on soccer, soccer, soccer.

I think at an early age I learned not to judge people.

I don't need a captain's band to lead a team to victory.

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

I am proud of who I am, and nobody's going to steal that.

L.A. is a bit strange. It doesn't seem like the real world.

I usually tell people I watch like '24' and 'Prison Break.'

On a global stage, I have respect in the goalkeeping world.

Every athlete acquires routines as a way to help control nerves.

Athletes are extremists. When they're training, it's laser focus.

I have an attitude. It's what I do. I'm edgy. I have an attitude.

I like to read books and be alone; I'm not social butterfly person.

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

I have no personal beef with Brandi Chastain. There's nothing personal.

People didn't put pressure on me. I just played for the love of the game.

You can predict all you want, but everybody knows what predictions get you.

A lot of people think I'm naturally confident. I am not naturally confident!

I couldn't have been a great goalkeeper without power, agility and quickness.

London 2012 is all about winning a medal. Not just any medal, the gold medal.

I like to read books and be alone; I'm not social butterfly person. I'm sorry.

I just want to stay in my hotel room, read my book. I enjoy that private time.

Of course Seattle loves soccer. You can see from the men's Seattle Sounders team.

My confidence comes from the daily grind - training my butt off day in and day out.

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

Unfortunately, people think I'm negative and bitter all the time, and that's not the case.

I wear my dad's cross. It's very important to me. I hang it in my locker before each game.

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.

You're always going to survive the pain of loss. I can live with that confidence inside of me.

I try to live my life one day at a time, and if I look too far in advance, I get really stressed.

I think the concept of seeking fame and fortune in women's football in the States is a bit idyllic.

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

My life goes in four-year cycles. The World Cup is every four years and the Olympics are every four years.

You know journalists. You know the media. They are going to hang on to anything negative they possibly can.

I've had marriage proposals, invitations to military balls and even a few prom offers from 18-year-old boys.

No one wants to lose, period. It should hurt, it should sting, and you don't want to feel that feeling again.

My entire purpose is trying to be the best in the game, and if that exudes beauty too, that's pretty powerful.
