My dad was my first coach and drove me extremely hard from a very young age.

I think it's great that young girls have the WNBA to look up to now.

Today I know that there is still work to be done, but along the way I am achieving my dreams.

So you have to take the good with the bad.

You're measured by championships no matter what.

For a while, I thought of myself as an atheist until I realized it was a belief, too. It's a shame everything has to have a label.

Experience is a grindstone; and it is lucky for us, if we can get brightened by it, and not ground.
