I wasn't athletic as a kid, and I was self-conscious about my body, but then in eighth grade I won a school contest, and the prize was a bunch of personal training sessions.

We need to create a society where girls and women are getting the same encouragement and support to build their careers as the boys and men are. From the start.

There's some part of me, as an actor, that likes attention and validation, but on any given day, depending on the style and volume of it, it can be too much.

I like to think I defied the odds my entire life, definitely my entire athletic career.

I've never been innocent, but I don't think I'm a bad kid! I didn't get voted prom king. I was kind of the dancer, the performer, but I was always very athletic, too.

I was always cast doing something athletic. I can't do a cartwheel.

In order to play at the World Cup, I know I have to do well with my club, Athletic.
