I wanted to get us a place of our own with a little bit more space. The kitchen is just huge, because my mom... lives there, man, and she loves being in the kitchen.
I couldn't ask for a better life.
I don't know French at all. I took some lessons when I was younger but all I know are the numbers. I've been told basically everyone in Monaco speaks English because of it being a huge vacation spot so I'm excited about that. I might not need to learn French after all.
I need to be in a stable environment right now in my career. What I mean by that is a place where I can play and not have too much pressure on me and a place I can develop. Monaco wanted me and did whatever they could to get me so I feel very very good about that.
My image is very important to me. I want to bring a good face to my family. That's the way I've been raised.
I need to go play football. I don't care about anything else.
If you're good enough, you're old enough.
I play a lot of Playstation, and always trying to look pretty for the girls.
Nothing has been given to me.
That's the dream. Being on the U.S. National team and winning the World Cup. I'll take the win anyway I can get it.
I'm just trying to do whatever is asked of me. I've been thrown into many different positions. Sometimes I'm on the left. Sometimes I'm in the middle. Sometimes I'm up top. So you always have to be prepared. I'm learning a lot so hopefully I can keep getting better and better.
A lot of players in Europe aren't as tall as the other guys, so they have to be stocky to physically compete.
There are some casual fans who think you're going to dominate a game, be magic, score 10 goals. Even if you dominate a game, you'll only score two or three goals.
I need more time to develop as a player and as a person.
I would love to play for Real Madrid. And I want to win a World Cup for the U.S. so bad. When the women won it, everybody went crazy. I would love to be part of something like that.
I've got a long way to go. I'm not in a hurry.
Sometimes I even amaze myself, and sometimes I do things that make me want to punch myself in the face.
I want to be good at what I do, obviously, and to do that I need to keep my head straight.
