When I was younger there was something in me. I had passion. I may not have known what I was going to do with that passion, but there was something-and I still feel it. It's this little engine that roars inside of me and I just want to keep going and going.

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.

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

You have to learn to be patient and not give up. Look to your parents; they need to be there for you. But having spiritual faith will get you through anything.

It's important to give back to people.

I think women are often taken for granted.

Don't ever lose sight of who you are and your own power.
