The fact that the games were so close was a tribute to the level of skill in the World Cup.

Getting a chance to practice six months against my own teammates, who I consider the best soccer players in the world, there's no way I couldn't improve.

UNC symbolizes something special. When you get chills you know you belong here.

We knew it was going to be the biggest event scheduled in the history of women's sports, but we didn't ever fathom we would be playing before sold-out stadiums all over the country.

Some people asked me if it was going to be a downer to come back and play on a college team after playing on a world championship team, and I don't think they understand what it is like to play here.

It's flattering if people think I'm attractive. If it helps, great, but it's not going to get in the way of me wanting to win. That's what I'm all about.

It's all a matter of how agents want to handle their clients.

This season is my most special and most cherished. All my focus is on getting that championship back here.

Michael Jordan always wore his Carolina shorts under his Bulls' uniform.

I do feel we have several great keepers on this team. We just need to get them that experience.

There was a brief silence. I think I heard snow falling.

I was awarded 'Most Aggressive Rider of the Day', generally given to the most spectacular loser of the day.

My favorite types of movies definitely aren't thrillers, but at the same time you can't deny the genius of Hitchcock's films.

Fish gotta swim, birds gotta fly, writers will go to stupefying lengths to get the infernal roar of words out of their skulls and onto paper.

The idea that there could be other universes out there is really one that stretches the mind in a great way.

The higher you go, the fewer women there are.

There will be a guy in a yellow poncho, his name is Hank, he will take you to the whopper lair.

Never depend on one action.

If I ever see more clearly at one time than at another, the medium through which I see is clearer.

To believe is human to doubt is divine.
