I'm only four weeks out from birth, so I still have a couple more weeks before I can work out - which is fine with me. I love the feeling of working out, but I've never been a gym rat, ever, so now, it's all about taking in what I can if it's good for the baby, because it all translates to her in a way.

There's a green room at the Oscars. It's really small, very warm, and it's really fun because you get to see everyone just lounging on couches. It's right before you go out to present, so it's everyone in there. And then they have this crudite section, and cheeses and crackers.

I'm weird about fruity desserts like lemony, acidic, zesty... I don't like lemon things and orange things, really.

I know when I was little, having my Thai mom, even I was weird about fish sauce and fish heads and clams. I kind of sided with my dad because he was a big American guy. So, we were very meat and potatoes, but I really wish I had grown up appreciating my mom's taste a bit more.

My big pet peeve with people posting food - and I love it when people post food - but my number one thing is when you're posting at a restaurant, and it's dark, like a date night, food never looks good. Flash looks horrible, no flash looks horrible. It's important to only do food photos during daylight - and it's all about color with Instagram.

If you put pesto in a squeeze bottle or just at the end of a spoon and drizzle it, it looks so much better. It's the little things. Plating is actually easy once you learn the little tips.

Men and Pilates - it's like the hardest thing on the planet to them! They're not used to getting those muscles. Core and butt and stuff - they're so confused.

There is something very beautiful about being pregnant. I think I enjoy being pregnant more than not being pregnant. I know it could go either way, and the next pregnancy could be the complete opposite.

I always wanted to be a teacher or wanted to do something with food. But modeling, I just never thought I could do it myself, really, ever. I still have trouble calling myself a model. I just never thought I was tall enough or skinny enough.

Models eat. They're crazy about moderation, but they eat.

People think I'm consuming all the time, based on my Instagram feed, but I know how to eat and how to pair. I might post the heaviest osso bucco of all time, but I'm not showing the carrots I'm having on the side rather than having a whole other big dish of something.

I'm very blessed, thankful, grateful for the opportunities I've had.

I haven't had many injuries, and I know that's because I take care of my body, and I do the things that I need to do to keep it strong.

I would like to fight as hard as I possibly can in each and every game and win or lose, leave it at that, and move forward. I know in my heart that that is the mindset I need to be a successful and happy athlete.

I try to practice mindfulness at all times, including the times where I'm nervous and I'm stressed.

I have crazy, curly, big hair, so,if I have time to try to make myself look presentable, I usually spend it doing my hair.

Everyone, especially athletes and fans everywhere, need to make sunscreen and sun protection a priority.

I'm so excited to be a Coppertone brand ambassador because as an athlete, taking care of my body is a huge part of my job, and sunscreen is a vital part of that.

I'm a dreamer, and I'm a perfectionist, and I love excellence, and that's hardwired in me. But when I was young, I lived in a space for a long time where I only felt insufficient.

My mom is just authentically herself all the time. She loves herself. She loves her sense of humor. She brings people in when she talks. She brings people in when she laughs. Watching her, I think that that's when I first learned and was encouraged to be myself and to sort of love and live in that way.

I used to be so focused on winning, I had a really hard time enjoying soccer. If I missed a shot, I would spend a lot of time thinking about how I'd disappointed my teammates. Then I learned how moments of struggle make you stronger.

Winning and losing isn't what's important. The attempt at success and getting to your best self is what matters.

There's a lot that's out of your control. But the one thing that you can control is your work ethic.

When you've learned to love yourself, you get all the things that come with that. Friends, passion, success.

My restlessness leaves my mind racing as I try to wind down at the end of mandatory recovery day. It keeps me tossing after poor performances. And if I played well, well... playing well makes me itch to play better; there is always room for improvement.

I think, a lot of my career and my life before I went to Sweden, I felt like I was trying to be someone else.

When I went to Sweden, I sort of found out who I was.

It's really special to play with your friends for your country.

I actually rid myself of superstitions, but I do a quick 20-minute meditation before games.

Serena Williams is my sports idol.

I love to be outside.

No hidden talents, but I have a lot of hobbies. Acrylic painting - I got a whole set, and I light candles at night and sit there and paint and look out on Lake Michigan.

I think that a lot of women experience that balance between feeling insecure about and appreciative for their bodies. I definitely have.

Staying grounded, eating healthy, doing yoga, staying out of the sun to protect my skin - I think that the daily decisions we make to protect our bodies are the best ways we can care for them.

I've spent a lot of time being insecure about my body, but it's done so much for me. It's my tool, my vessel for my job.

I'm very grateful for the way that I feel when I play. I feel very powerful, I feel fast, I feel unstoppable, and that's because of my body.

Whether I'm running up and down the field or running errands, I make it a point to ensure that my skin is protected.

The American professional schedule gives players a six-month off-season, so many of us have become pickup regulars while training without an organized team.

I always want to take on the giants.

I find the ball, and I think, 'Where's the ball going, and where do I need to go?' It just puts me back in the game, and it's the simplest thing, but it's become sort of like my soccer mantra. I simply use the ball as my focus point and move back into position, and the distracting thoughts disappear, and I'm right back in the game.

Wherever I am, I always do yoga every day. I think it's so important for my physical health in sport.

With yoga, it works every part of the body and increases range of motion. People think you get super flexible and you lose your power in sport. I'm getting back to normal because I'm so wound up and tight.

On game days, I do yoga as just a really short routine. It's more to warm up and to calm down in the morning.

At the end of the day in our sport, you just have to sacrifice yourself completely to put the team first. That's not easy for us because we're so competitive, but that's the most important thing when it comes to World Championships.

My family is a little ridiculous. They're wild - really colorful and animated and big personalities.

The speed of life that top American athletes have is boom-boom-boom, and I'm a lot slower. I look before I cross, you know?

Before I found my peace, I was way too much in my head. I found myself on the field in my own thoughts. I've learned that there's a time and a place for my thoughts. The most important thing when I'm on the field is to just be in the moment and let it all go.

I have learned that there's a little bit of a danger in stressing ourselves out and living in the future - worry affects how we are today.

I gave up on the national team - I thought to myself, 'Well, that's just not something that's going to happen for me.' The national team was in residency camp; I was 6,000 miles away. Nobody was watching, nobody cared... I'm just going to go play for myself and my team and try to be great... and I had more fun than I'd have ever had.

In Sweden, if a player has the ball, and you're running across the line of vision, you would never call for the ball. In the United States, if you're open, you're screaming.
