1. What are the three things you can never be without while traveling?
A: Book, toothbrush, phone.

2. If you didn’t play professional soccer, what other profession would you want to try – and why?
A: Acting or owning my own businesses because I have always loved theater. I did it growing up...and I'm not shy in front of the camera! My family owned businesses while I was growing up and i just loved working with them, and the thought of owning something I came up with would be a huge accomplishment.

3. What’s your perfect day off?
A: Sleeping in, eating a huge breakfast, then going to Barnes and Noble, getting a chai tea and reading all the gossip magazines. I also love going to the movies on my day off!

4. What famous person most inspires you and why?
A: Anyone who is the President of the United States. It is a very demanding job, you are in charge of so many lives, and how they live rests on your shoulders...I find it fascinating.

5. If you had a dinner party, who are the four people you would invite (can be living or dead)?
A: Marilyn Monroe - because she is a fashion icon and set the precedent for women, Jesus - to walk a day in his shoes would be eye-opening, Josh Groban - so he can sing to me, and my family - they are the most important to me.

6. If there were one adjective to describe you, what would it be?
A: Perky

7. What’s on your workout / pre-game iPod playlist?
A: I love listening to all types of music...I start out with classical to mellow out, then closer to game time I pull out the R&B and rap to get me going. Never Say Never - Justin Beiber, and anything Josh Groban.
