Basketball, and the people I have met through the game have far and away had the largest impact on my life. Almost every positive role model I have ever had was a coach, mentor, or teammate.

I know my curves are sexy and I want everyone else to know that theirs are too. There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt.

I felt free, once I realized i was never going to fit the narrow mold that society wanted me to fit in.

There is not one standard definition of beauty or one perfect size.

There is no reason to hide and every reason to flaunt.

I am always being asked to gain or lose weight, but I am at a point now where I don't care anymore. I love my body, I love my super-hourglass shape and I love showing it off.

I don't want women to hold themselves back. I think there are too many women who are self-conscious about the way they look - the way they see themselves in the mirror.

Love yourself. Be proud of who you are.

For me, wearing lingerie isn't about anyone else but me. If I dressed for others I would be a miserable person.

We are lucky to live in a world made up of so many different kinds of people and I am confident in the direction we are going.

I always say wear what makes you feel most confident, and confidence doesn't always come over night.

In the grand scheme of things it makes no difference who is right but rather what's right that counts.

It's like rock n' roll for your eyes.

Keenness is dangerous but also rebirth of thought and mind. Complacency is the death of ideals. Always stay keen.

A high self-esteem having artist works hard to be understood. A low self-esteem having artist works hard to be agreed with.

I believe that if the Tribune company ever tries to close down Wrigley Field that you will have a protest from every corner of the globe.

I nearly always write — just as I nearly always breathe.

Paradox: how do we know what we have failed to see because we have no language to express it, thus we cannot know that we have failed to see it.

The true work of God is all good, since it is existence.

Success takes an investment in time, dedication, and sacrifice. This is true education. It is a process.

I've still got a brilliant head of hair, which refuses to lay down.
