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

In football, everything is possible, from the moment you work and you believe in your qualities.

A great team relies on its leaders and they have to make a difference at key moments.

We must stop feeling fear.

You can’t sit around and do nothing, you have to carry on.

I get up in the morning and I go to practice like everyone else.

I am going to be a professional soccer player.

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

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

My father was never around. But I glorified my father, and I was always daddy's little girl. He was my first soccer coach.

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

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

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

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

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

I'm just going to embrace every experience.

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

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

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