My reason for coming out isn't to be some sort of hero.

I can't help who I fall in love with. No one can.

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.

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.

I've always been a firm believer in mind over matter. If you don't believe you can achieve, your body will start to believe this and you'll be stuck.

I had never made any plans beyond basketball.

If you do not believe yourself no one else will.
