I've lived for 10 years in Switzerland, so I speak German.

I'm glad you're doing this story on us and not on the WNBA. We're so much prettier than all the other women in sports.

What rivalry? I win all the matches.

I didn't have the same fitness or ability as the other girls, so I had to beat them with my mind.

A lot of these young girls, they dont even know what the game is about. They have never seen a drop shot, a slice and all the mixture and variety I have.

There are always pressures on decision-makers other than just what is right or what is wrong.

The Fates, like an absent-minded printer, seldom allow a single line to stand perfect and unmarred.

Short of spending $10,000, there is nothing you can do to your head to hide the fact that you're going bald.

You have given me a great responsibility: to stay close to you, to be worthy of you and to exemplify what you are.

If attacked on some vulnerable point by anyone or anything or any organization, always find or manufacture enough threat against them to cause them to sue for peace.
