- I don't think women can have it all. I just don't think so...My husband and I have been married for 34 years, and we have two daughters. And every day you have to make a decision about whether you are going to be a wife or a mother. In fact, many times during the day you have to make those decisions…We co-opted our families to help us. We plan our lives meticulously so we can be decent parents. But if you ask our daughters, I'm not sure they will say that I've been a good mom.
- My dream is not over yet. It was interrupted by one move. But it will continue, and I’m certain that my teammates will do whatever possible so I can fulfill my dream of being a champion. I won’t be able to fulfill the dream of playing in a World Cup final, but I’m sure they will win this one. They will become champions, and I will be there with them, and all of Brazil will be celebrating together.

- If you start giving your kids anxiety about food, it’s going to last a lifetime. Moms have to lead by example. Don’t say, "Oh, my jeans don’t fit," or "Oh, I was bad.” No diets. Nothing like that.
- Kids at school do not need Internet access. That means, Obama’s plan for government spending money for it is a waste. The Internet is for adults, and no kid should ever have Internet access without parental supervision. It’s a wild and dangerous world online.
- Some people are your relatives but others are your ancestors, and you choose the ones you want to have as ancestors. You create yourself out of those values.
