If you do not believe yourself no one else will.

For me, honestly, it's not about individual accomplishments, individual award. It's about what I've got to do and how I can contribute to the team.

Some people might say my coming out after just winning the MVP award is heroic, and I understand that.

Be positive and work hard. I think it's possible to overcome anything, if you're willing to work at it.

I was very bitter, frustrated, hurt, angry - I went through all types of emotions when I first was out of the WNBA.

Every level that I have ever competed on, I have risen to the top.

Being gay has nothing to do with the three gold medals or the three MVPs or the four championships I've won. I'm still the same person. I'm Sheryl.
