Quote
1
[on discouraging her fiancé and family from attending the World Cup matches] We train for this every four years, and I don't want any distractions. I don't want to have to worry about tickets and travel and if they're having fun or squeezing time into see them, when I could be getting a massage and into an ice bath.
2
[comparing women's soccer to men's] It's different. Women don't flop as much as men. It's a pride thing. I'm not sure why some men do it.
3
[on the coolest thing to happen to her since American women won the 2015 World Cup] The ticker-tape parade in New York City. People in windows dressed in red, white and blue chanting our names, paper flying everywhere. To know that people are so inspired by me and my teammates is incredible.

I want to leave the game as one of the best players ever. And in order to do that, you need to score in big moments. You need to rise to challenges. That's what I love to do.
