I am going to be a professional soccer player.

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

I think it's my personality to overcome things, learn from them and become stronger, both personally and professionally. To be honest, I welcome those hardships.

There are no shortcuts. If you feel good, you'll look good, you'll play good. Work hard every day. No matter what your strengths and weaknesses, there's no substitute for hard work.

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.

There are so many different walks of life, so many different personalities in the world. And no longer do you have to be a chameleon and try and adapt to that environment - you can truly be yourself.

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

True heros are made of hard work and integrity.

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

I think every athlete has their window of opportunity, and you just have to jump on it. You never know when it can end. So I'm just trying to live large while I have the opportunity.

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

Is it foolish to care for non-existent folk?Then, leave me to my foolishness.

Winning and Loosing is a part of game, Arrogance is the animal you need to tame, Conscience is the thing which can get you fame, Oh GOD !! please help me to do the same.

We all construct worldviews that give us a sense of meaning. Mostly it is about belonging to a group and having a sense of identity and purpose.

I'm going to become a real professional actress.

...only drugs make you feel as good as people in TV ads appear to be.

Pop music really is a love and a joy and a science [of songwriting].

In God we trust; all others pay cash.

We are busy surviving, herding, fixating on what just happened, and being overconfident!

The difficulty in living our religion is when we haven't totally made the commitment necessary.

Making art is like giving a gift: evidence of your spirit and that you are here.
