I think everything happens for a reason and all the things that happened to me - good, bad - I'm glad they did. It's made me ready for life, for adulthood.

All I can say is, hey, if you have fun doing what you do, if you have fun playing soccer, the creativity is just going to come as time goes on.

I'm not worried. My time will come.

My mom was always the supplier of soccer balls, and so people were always knocking on my door, and trying to get me out so we could play.

When you play soccer, most of the time you got to get the ball moving, but once you get into that attacking third you gotta be creative, you gotta let your talent take over.

A lot of people have been hyped up to be great but just disappeared. I promised myself I wouldn't be one of them.

You can't do anything to help your team win when you don't play.

I haven't done anything yet, but I want to be the best in the world.

I play a lot of Playstation, and always trying to look pretty for the girls.

I'm very young. This gives me a perfect opportunity to play for a good team and be close to home, to grow as a player. (on signing for D.C. United)

You will have relatively less problems to solve, if you don't confuse problems with inconveniences.

She is like a butterfly, Beautiful to look at But hard to catch.

The romantics would call this a love story, the cynics would call it a tragedy.

We must not let the things we can't do keep us from doing the things we can do.

If you give it to God, He transforms your test into a testimony, your mess into a message, and your misery into a ministry.

If they're going to pay me like [Mike] Gallego, I'm going to play like Gallego.

My mom and I have always been really close. She’s always been the friend that was always there.
