Lorrie Fair Quotations

Even if you have a bad game, you have to swallow your pride and sign. It takes a little time, but it makes the kids happy. And it makes you feel good, too.

That doll looks more like a black man than me.

The fact that the games were so close was a tribute to the level of skill in the World Cup.

Michael Jordan always wore his Carolina shorts under his Bulls' uniform.

Everywhere you look these days you see Carolina athletes.

Sometimes I come home and still can't believe it's all mine.

This season is my most special and most cherished. All my focus is on getting that championship back here.

Some people asked me if it was going to be a downer to come back and play on a college team after playing on a world championship team, and I don't think they understand what it is like to play here.

We knew it was going to be the biggest event scheduled in the history of women's sports, but we didn't ever fathom we would be playing before sold-out stadiums all over the country.

Everybody thought I was crazy. They thought I should take the money and run. But there was just something special about being a senior at Chapel Hill. I just couldn't leave.

Getting a chance to practice six months against my own teammates, who I consider the best soccer players in the world, there's no way I couldn't improve.

Here at Carolina, our World Cup opponents marked their calendars. Obviously the other nations wanted to win every game, but a big upset over the U.S. was something we knew other teams would cherish.

They are always telling us that Carolina Blue is not a color, that it is really Columbia blue or sky blue. But there is no bad blood amongst the teammates. All of our kidding is in good fun.

I do feel we have several great keepers on this team. We just need to get them that experience.

I don't know if you could take a whole 90 minutes and say that was the best game we ever played.

I think UNC and Lorrie Fair is a perfect match.

It's all a matter of how agents want to handle their clients.

I think there is a special bond between Carolina athletes. A lot of people seem to wear our gear because it is fashionable. They love the colors. It's Michael Jordan's school!

I don't know if there are words to describe my motivation.

The China game was the best because it took the effort of everyone on the team to survive 120 minutes.

UNC symbolizes something special. When you get chills you know you belong here.

If my soccer career were over, I would still come here because of the people. And despite the fact I've had to skip some school for National Team purposes, I am looking forward to holding that Carolina degree as soon as I can get my hands on it.

It's flattering if people think I'm attractive. If it helps, great, but it's not going to get in the way of me wanting to win. That's what I'm all about.

I was frozen in awe. I knew my family was somewhere in that sea of people. Between my family and friends, I had about 15 personal supporters.

We're at the Super Bowl and the people are thanking us for coming. Thanking us for coming to the Super Bowl? Are you kidding me?

They're just fun pictures of me. They look good but when you read it, what does it say? Lorrie Fair, professional soccer player.

I'm little, but I love big things.

The national team comes before everything.
