Wildcat: What do you think about the WUSA situation?
Wilks: Honestly·it's sad. Americans don't have the appreciation that Europeans and Africans have for soccer. Especially this, because it's a women's sport.
Wildcat: What is the furthest you have ever booted a ball?
Wilks: What? (Laughs) Probably from half-field, about 60 · or 70 yards.
Wildcat: How do you feel about the not-being-able-to-tear-your-shirt-off rule?
Wilks: (Laughs) Well that rule hasn't affected me too much. (Laughs) But, if a woman wants to tear her shirt off after scoring she should be free to do so. It's not like an over-18 show or anything.
Wildcat: Who did you think would win the WNBA finals?
Wilks: I don't (laughs) know! Who are the teams? At least the league isn't getting ixnayed.
Wildcat: Well I don't know who's in it·
Wildcat: If you could time travel, would you go to the past or future?
Wilks: The future because we already know so much about the past, if I could go to the future, and I could start a trend. I mean I could come back and know what happens · I'd be the smartest person in the world. I could alter the future! (Laughs)
Wildcat: Or make womens' soccer the world's most popular sport?
Wilks: Definitely!

Wildcat:: Who should be the Gov of California?
Wilks: (Laughs) What kind of questions are these?! I don't know·
Wildcat: What is your best summer memory that you can tell the public about?
Wilks: Nothing eventful happened, (long pause) I didn't do anything, I was here.
Wildcat: In class, if you actually go, do you sit in the back, middle or front?
Wilks: I go! I frequent class. I generally tend to sit in the middle, so I can get lost in the crowd.
Wildcat: What is the best class you've taken at the UA?
Wilks: Spanish 101.
Wildcat: No, not the easiest·
Wilks: (Laughs) African American Art history 339.
Wildcat: What is your favorite way of cooking?
Wilks: Microwave. This is assuming I cook·watching my roommates cook and eating their food.
Wildcat: What do you want to see UA build next?
CW: (Without hesitation) A soccer field on campus so people can actually come.
Wildcat: Have you bought a Zona Zoo pass?
CW: No ·(laughs)· it'll be on my list of things to do·
