Anger has been a really big deal for women: how can we express it without feeling that, as the physically weaker sex, we won't get killed. The alpha-woman was burned at the stake and had her head chopped off in days of old.

We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect.

Courage and willingness to just go for it, whether it is a conversation or a spontaneous trip or trying new things that are scary - it is a really attractive quality.

There was a period of time during the 'Jagged Little Pill' era where I don't think I laughed for about two years. It was a survival mode, you know. It was an intense, constant, chronic over-stimulation and invasion of energetic and physical literal space.

I still indulge in a glass of wine or chocolate - treats are mandatory. Without deviating from the day-to-day healthy diet once in a while, it wouldn't be sustainable for me, and that's what I wanted: an approach to eating to last my entire life.

For four to six months at a time, I would barely eat. I lived on a diet of Melba toast, carrots, and black coffee.

In my opinion, I think sarcasm and humor in a song, without turning it into a novelty song, is really charming.

The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too.

God cannot alter the past, though historians can.

Let us be grateful to the mirror for revealing to us our appearance only.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but a little want of knowledge is also a dangerous thing.

In law, nothing is certain but the expense.

Marriage is distinctly and repeatedly excluded from heaven. Is this because it is thought likely to mar the general felicity?

Every man's work, whether it be literature, or music or pictures or architecture or anything else, is always a portrait of himself.

What is faith but a kind of betting or speculation after all? It should be, I bet that my Redeemer liveth.

A sense of humor keen enough to show a man his own absurdities will keep him from the commission of all sins, or nearly all, save those worth committing.

Life is not an exact science, it is an art.

Most people have never learned that one of the main aims in life is to enjoy it.

To live is like to love - all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it.

There is not a week that goes by that I don't have a dream that I am back in the business.

It's always really challenging trying to go from player to player/coach. You have a kind of friendship basis of relationship with all of your teammates, and now you go to this power position where you have to make decisions that might hurt people's feelings.

I'm fiercely patriotic, and the flag and the anthem is something that I really, really respect.

From a pretty early age, my mother realized that I was a little bit more gifted and talented than my own age group. So, she moved me over to play with the boys' travel soccer team when I was about 11 years old.

Forever, it was just soccer - passion, life, love. Then I got married, and I had to transfer some of my energy. I want to be my best for my country, but I also made a really big promise and choice to be the best in my marriage. That has not always been the easiest thing to manage.

My nephew has type 1 diabetes, and it's my goal and hope that in his lifetime there will be a cure for diabetes. There's no place better to give the money to than the Juvenile Diabetes Association.

I don't know if I found soccer or if soccer found me. Especially because when I was younger, I was doing it, in a lot of ways, because I wanted the attention of my mom and dad.
