My No. 1 goal, and what I've spent my entire life striving to achieve is to win a World Cup. I want to retire so badly with that World Cup, but if I don't, then I'll retire knowing that I've done everything I could to get it.
Quote by -Hope Solo
It's a complicated thing, knowing how much pain my father caused in my life and the lives of others whom I love, yet still holding love for him in my heart. No matter what he did, he was my father. He helped create the person I am.
Quote by -Hope Solo
It's clear that women athletics are pretty far behind in every way. In terms of facilities, how much we make, everything.
Quote by -Hope Solo
I carry my iPod everywhere. My favorite group is the John Butler Trio, an Australian jam band. The lead singer and guitarist writes amazing lyrics.
Quote by -Hope Solo
You're not going to be liked by everybody when you speak the truth. I don't speak the truth to put people down; I don't speak the truth to show disrespect.
Quote by -Hope Solo
I think people who don't have conflict in their lives are just trying to please people and not really living life to the fullest.
Quote by -Hope Solo
Female athletes are supposed to be toned down. You're always supposed to talk about the team and never stand out.
Quote by -Hope Solo
When I was younger, I was a complete tomboy. Then in college I started emerging out of the tomboy stage and dressing differently.
Quote by -Hope Solo
Growing up, I felt insecure about my build. I didn't feel very feminine. But as time went on, I learned to completely embrace my body.
Quote by -Hope Solo
All my life, since the time I was little, has been a long distraction. At least that is the way some people want to perceive it, but for me, it's given me a lot of strength.
Quote by -Hope Solo
My life goes in four-year cycles. The World Cup is every four years and the Olympics are every four years.
Quote by -Hope Solo
Everybody should be affected by their own realities in their own lives, their own struggles in their own lives. It makes us who we are, and we all know that.
Quote by -Hope Solo
I never wanted to go to college in the state of Washington because I was so embarrassed and ashamed of my family life. I wanted to run. That's what always what I do, I run. I run as far away as I can.
Quote by -Hope Solo
You know journalists. You know the media. They are going to hang on to anything negative they possibly can.
Quote by -Hope Solo
I hate the cliche of 'just have fun,' but what I've seen in today's sports, especially with parents, is they put so much pressure on the kids.
Quote by -Hope Solo
I think every athlete has their window of opportunity, and you just have to jump on it. You never know when it can end. So I'm just trying to live large while I have the opportunity.
Quote by -Hope Solo
When the Olympics and World Cups come around, that's when you see the real outpouring of support that there really is for female football.
Quote by -Hope Solo
I never felt the same passion for the game in the States and there were a lot of headaches, a lot of obstacles to overcome - it didn't just run itself for the love of the game because soccer is not the No. 1 sport as it is in Europe.
Quote by -Hope Solo
You're always going to survive the pain of loss. I can live with that confidence inside of me.
Quote by -Hope Solo
When I did 'Dancing With the Stars,' everyone in Hollywood was saying I had too much muscle.
Quote by -Hope Solo
In front of the world, all of a sudden I'm a great athlete and I'm put into an environment with 25 other women and I'm expected to go to team meals, team functions.
Quote by -Hope Solo
My father was never around. But I glorified my father, and I was always daddy's little girl. He was my first soccer coach.
Quote by -Hope Solo
I don't just want to focus on soccer, soccer, soccer. You're going to look back 20 years from now and of course you're going to remember the games. But I'm going to remember seeing my family in the stands.
Quote by -Hope Solo
My father showed me so much love. He showed my brother so much love. He just, he had a rough life. You know, he grew up in a boys home in the Bronx. He didn't really know his own family. So I couldn't hold it against him that he didn't know how to parent. He didn't know how to be the perfect husband. But he loved as much as he could.
Quote by -Hope Solo
I've had marriage proposals, invitations to military balls and even a few prom offers from 18-year-old boys.
Quote by -Hope Solo
I think the concept of seeking fame and fortune in women's football in the States is a bit idyllic.
Quote by -Hope Solo
No one wants to lose, period. It should hurt, it should sting, and you don't want to feel that feeling again.
Quote by -Hope Solo
I burn so many calories when I work out that I don't really count calories or necessarily try and stay away from anything.
