My grandmother was always upbeat, a naturally happy person. I think I got that from her.

Sometimes I still don't know if I'm prepared to go through the entire season, dealing with the different personalities, the crowds, the politics.

I did some things I regret, and I know there are people who think they know me. I've heard the things they say, and some of them are hurtful.

If I put my mind to something and really want it, I'll go after it and get it.

There's pressure every night to be the best on the court. I put a lot of pressure on myself. Pressure is part of the game. It is also part of life. I want to prove I can do the work and be a success off the court as well as on it.

We're all products of our environment. The key is not to fall.
