Female athletes are stereotyped by the general population--and usually as homosexuals.

Trust and respect is something you earn, not something that is given.

Pressure is a privilege ... it's what you do with it that matters.

Winning is very tangible, it's very exciting, it's very pleasing, but it's momentary. If you can do things that last, that each generation can build upon, then that's when you're cooking.

I try to perfect my strong points and make my weaknesses adequate.

I hate being called a homosexual because I don't feel that way. It really upsets me ... Being gay can happen in any walk of life, in any world. If you have one gay experience, does that mean you're gay? If you have one heterosexual experience, does that mean you're straight? Life doesn't work quite so cut and dried.

I would just never out anybody. I think everyone has to find it in their own way and their own time.
