My mum gave up so much to have me, and now I want to repay her.

I want to be something special. I want to be known as a great female basketballer.

When I'm on the court, I feel like I'm in my element.

When I was younger, Lisa Leslie inspired me a whole lot. She was someone I looked up to and wanted to be like. I really believe she is a good person. Hopefully, she can find out I am the same.

I can be a much better player. I've got a long ways to go.

Leaving my family behind was very scary. I had to grow up quick. But being so young and paying in this league [the WNBA], I'm glad I did it because it's been the best experience in my life.

People come out to rough me up because they think I'm not going to play well. And maybe when I was in my teen years it worked well. But I'm used to it now.

I love Seattle. I couldn't be anywhere else.

I can see Sue and I leading this team to many more championships...We're going to take this and learn from it. We worked too hard for this.

I always had that desire to become a great athlete.

An army must inevitably consist of the scum of the people and all those for which society has no use.

I live in a high rise with my family part of the year in New York and I don't know three quarters of the people in the building. We live in the same square-footage and I wouldn't know who they were.

I don't tap dance, and I don't think you can learn to tap dance in three weeks at my ripe old age.

If we can ... get them to understand that saying 'no' to drugs is rebelling against their parents and the generations of the past, we'd make it an enormous success.

With the casino and the beds, our passengers will have at least two ways to get lucky on one of our flights.

Be blissful and enjoy your life; do not let yourself become obsessed with anything. Determine to use the rest of your life to benefit others as much as possible.
