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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I live for competition. It makes my life complete.

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

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

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

My life is a beautiful struggle.

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

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

True heros are made of hard work and integrity.
