I think women are often taken for granted.

When I bought the [WNBA] team, I saw that no one really cared about them. Like the locker facilities that these young women have to work in-they weren't right. I want to give them the best locker room facilities and show them they're valued-because if you show them value, they're going to perform better. And this goes for all women, not just basketball players.

Don't rest on your laurels. There's always going to be someone behind you who's going to be better than you. So you need to get out there and keep working.

When people say no to me, I say, "Don't say no to me. There is a waywe can work this out."

It's important that women support women. It gives me a great sense of well-being to know that I can make a difference in people's lives.

There are a lot of male egos out there that cannot deal with highly successful women. And it's their problem.

Don't stop setting your sights high because of some young guy.
