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

You're not going to be liked by everybody when you speak the truth. I don't speak the truth to put people down; I don't speak the truth to show disrespect.

My No. 1 goal, and what I've spent my entire life striving to achieve is to win a World Cup. I want to retire so badly with that World Cup, but if I don't, then I'll retire knowing that I've done everything I could to get it.

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

I've learned that winning isn't everything, and it's more about the journey. But at the end of the day, I just want to stand on the podium with the gold medal.

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