Ridiculous stuff happens when I travel.

I have no regrets about my career or retiring. Not once have I thought 'Gosh, I wish I was back on the court.

There's nothing masculine about being competitive. There's nothing masculine about trying to be the best at everything you do, nor is there anything wrong with it. I don't know why a female athlete has to defend her femininity just because she chooses to play sports

Make it a point to be around those with positive energy - people who want what's best for you, people who understand your goals and priorities.

I've also always known that I wouldn't be playing for the N.B.A.

I think every time I go in a game, I have added something positive. I have gotten a rebound or made a defensive play. That is what I try to focus on.

Winning an Olympic gold medal is like nothing else.
