Most people that do play nowadays hit really hard. It was good to get someone that hit really hard early on.

I love "Phenomenal Woman." The experiences she had of being African American in the U.S. - that itself is a task. I appreciate the hardships Maya Angelou went through for our generation. I'm super influenced by the black people that paved the way for us.

I'm an athlete and I'm black, and a lot of black athletes go broke. I do not want to become a statistic, so maybe I overcompensate. But I'm paranoid. Oprah told me a long time ago, 'You sign every check. Never let anyone sign any checks.'

It's amazing, but I guess that happens when you become overly famous. Every week now, I get more famous.

I love hitting aces. It's not easy, but it makes your life a lot easier.

I'm an unbelievable designer.

I'm always learning new things.
