My father showed me so much love. He showed my brother so much love. He just, he had a rough life. You know, he grew up in a boys home in the Bronx. He didn't really know his own family. So I couldn't hold it against him that he didn't know how to parent. He didn't know how to be the perfect husband. But he loved as much as he could.

People didn't put pressure on me. I just played for the love of the game.

Unfortunately, people think I'm negative and bitter all the time, and that's not the case.

Athletes are extremists. When they're training, it's laser focus.

I burn so many calories when I work out that I don't really count calories or necessarily try and stay away from anything.

My life is a beautiful struggle.

Female athletes are supposed to be toned down. You're always supposed to talk about the team and never stand out.
