When I come off the bench, I'm looking to add energy, and then I play defense and rebound. Also, at the end of the game, I have the experience to go out there and help us win.

There's a lot of room to grow, and the women who believe they're worth it are the ones who are going to make good things happen during the next period of WNBA growth.

To be on television and have my nieces and nephews see me, and seeing them wear my shirt to the games and be proud, it's so sweet. Sometimes it feels like it's just a dream.

Every year I try to keep in excellent shape and improve some part of my game. I play in the offseason overseas to keep my game tuned up and hopefully improve a little in some area.

I think sportsmanship is knowing that it is a game, that we are only as a good as our opponents, and whether you win or lose, to always give 100 percent.

Sometimes people think that if you're always helping people up and never hit someone with a hard foul, you're automatically a good sport. I don't believe that.

I try to never lose sight of what a special time it is to be a women's basketball player.

When I see these young girls who are dreaming the dream that I'm living, it's very very exciting and it puts a big smile on my face.

You shouldn't just work on your jump shot. You should work on being a better person, a better teammate, and a better friend.

Once you know what to expect, it gets easier and easier. And now I know what I have to do to prepare for each season and what to expect through each season.

It's not to hurt anyone, but basketball can be rough.

It's crazy, how similar we are. Here's both of us, working through our stuff, trying to make something positive out of something really bad.

Parking is a nightmare for me... I still have sensors on my car that help me park.

Paradoxically, life is worth living for those who have something for which they will gladly give up life.

I've constantly done my best to get the best material I can get with the best directors I can get to direct me.

I paint digitally now. A pity, in some ways, as the biggest price one pays is that you no longer have a finished piece of physical art to hang on a wall. I miss that terribly.

I mean that I value vision, and dread being struck stone blind.

The creative person pays close attention to what appears discordant and contradictory... and is challenged by such irregularities.

Why waste your time being around people who drag you down? You don't live forever, at least in this life.

And, you know, I still haven't been contacted by Mick Jagger, either!
