Women play just as hard as guys do. We're just as competitive.

To me, the most important thing is happiness.

There was the misconception out there that I retired after the 2008 season, but that was never the case. I wasn't done with basketball yet, and I'm still not done.

I'm at a place in my life right now where I'm very happy, very content. I'm finally OK with the idea of who I love, who I want to be with.

...as far as self-discipline goes, it's still ultimately up to me how well I can push myself. Only I can do that. I just have to keep on going, keep on working, keep on improving.

Players don't really ask for much or want much. But the things that they do need are important.

I had never made any plans beyond basketball.
