“It's no secret that I think that MLS is a top five, top six league in the world but they're not the top league.”
“Obviously the chance to work with Rafa, there's not really a better situation I could be in. He's great. He takes his time with you. One-on-ones, he'll stay out after training for another hour if you need it. He's been one of the best managers I've had.”
“Everybody tells me they don't know how I have so much energy, and I think people feed off that, which is great.”
“For me, I can't eat healthy 100 percent of the year. There's obviously those little times where you have to eat something that's not great for you, but you just need comfort food.”
“I won't eat past when I'm full. I think that's the problem some people have, they like a dish so much that they'll eat until it's completely gone and feel sick after. Me, if I feel full, ready, comfortable, I'll stop.”
“I think positionally I've improved. One vs. one I feel more comfortable. I knew that was going to come - obviously that's the kind of thing that comes with experience.”
“I think if you put a timeframe on things, you can start rushing things and getting away from the goals, so I try to take it day by day and make sure I keep improving.”
“When I was younger if I was in someone else's shoes, if you saw a professional athlete you'd want to go up and introduce yourself and ask a couple questions, so I definitely know where they're coming from.”
“Once you start to become OK at something, you learn to enjoy it more.”

“The Premier League is one of the top leagues in the world and I'm a guy that likes to challenge myself, so just to be able to practice against those types of players and play against them every weekend is a dream come true.”
“Every kid dreams of playing in the Premier League.”
“You can see it with social media and things like that, back in the day it was harder to convince people that the police are wrong, which sounds crazy, but that's how it was back then.”
“Klinsmann should be remembered as a great coach; I don't think a lot of people see it, but as players, we really appreciate what he did for America soccer. He opened American soccer up. He gave it a lot more variety of players. You see German-Americans and Mexican-Americans, and you see the guys that were born in America.”
“In the Premier League a little half a second can punish you and you just have to be focused for all 90 or 95 minutes, whatever it may be.”
“I feel like I've improved immensely in terms of my defending, not only in one-versus-ones but also with my positioning.”
“In the midfield, I'm not the most comfortable playing with my back to the goal, and in the midfield you find that ball a lot.”
“I love the Premier League. It's obviously a very talented league.”
“I'm fine with just a simple life.”
“I think the fact people still don't realise why people are taking a knee and saying 'Black Lives Matter,' people are being so close-minded to the fact that no one is disrespecting the flag, nobody is saying all lives don't matter.”
