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.

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

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.

The national team comes before everything.

I'd be in the wrong job if I had to stand in front of the mirror and push myself to go to work every day.

I saw from a very young age the value of clean water in communities in Africa. I made a promise to myself that once I reached a time and place in my career where I could do more, I would.

The first long chapter of my career was almost entirely theater so that, by the time I was 30, 35, I sort of knew who I was as an actor, and I was gradually learning who I was as a human being.

The family's first, and the career is second. I could get fired from a show. As long as everything's okay with my family, it really would not bother me.
