So many people feel that once you reach a certain age then it's time for you to retire from a sport you love. I don't think that's true at all. I think age should not dictate that.

If we all make a concerted effort and try to improve the life of someone else, then this world would be a better place to live in.

We've got babies raising babies, and it's important for us as responsible adults to go out and do what we can to make sure that our kids are steered in the right direction.

You can want and hope, or you can make it happen.

There's a disappointment there because I still feel there's an emptiness in my career that just wasn't filled.

I had individuals in my life to help me make the right decisions because it wasn't about them accepting handouts. It was about them making the right decisions for me.

I was hurting. I had some ailments I was dealing with. It's not like I was holding out.

I listen to myself. I listen to my body, my mind, I follow my heart.

I want to live 50 more years. I'm 33 years old... and I want to live to at least be 80 and see my kids grow up and see my grandkids. That's important to me.

If I would have listened to other people back in 2000 telling me I should have stopped playing basketball because of a kidney disease, I wouldn't have won a world championship.

I can still play this game at a high level; I've proven that. I want to be home. I want to be close to my family. I want to be close to my foundation and my business interests.

True love starts from you to you. So stop waiting on others to fulfill the emptiness in your heart. People for the most part can only bring pleasure in your life, but never happiness.

I am much too alone in this world, yet not alone enough.

I could take back those moments that snatched you away from me or maybe just wipe away those ten minutes when you came to me for the first time and I looked into your eyes to realise what love is.

We're taught to trade. We're not taught to give.

I didn't go to school for fashion, I didn't have anybody to teach me anything about fashion - that's all I knew how to do, graphic design.

Let me tell you what the Tea Party stands for. It stands for the fact that we are taxed enough already.

I would like to know that I was still going to be employed as a woman well into my 60s. In acting terms, a career that spans a lifetime is a very hard thing to achieve, particularly as a woman.

If someone is too tired to give you a smile, leave one of your own, because no one needs a smile as much as those who have none to give.

You're just so excited that you have this record deal or this movie opportunity that you don't stand up for yourself and say, This is what I want to do.

I love living in Los Angeles.
