There are so many women out there relying on me to represent them.

No matter how far life pushes you down, no matter how much you hurt, you can always bounce back.

Be positive and work hard. I think it's possible to overcome anything, if you're willing to work at it.

If you do not believe yourself no one else will.

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 always believe someone somewhere is working harder than me and that motivates me to work harder, give 100%.

It didn't matter how good I was. It was always, 'You're a girl. You can't play with the guys.' It's always been motivation for me.

Players don't really ask for much or want much. But the things that they do need are important.

As a result of Title IX, and a new generation of parents who want their daughters to have the opportunities they never had, women's sports have arrived.

Women play just as hard as guys do. We're just as competitive.

You have to be positive, and I'm not just talking about athletics, this also applies to life.

One has to get rid of the self. Once the self is thrown away, nothing is lacking. You start overflowing and blossoms start falling on you.

Time and trouble will tame an advanced young woman. But an advanced old woman is uncontrollable by any force.

To know one's own desires, their meaning and their costs requires the highest human virtue: rationality.

A 'whim' is a desire experienced by a person who does not know and does not care to discover its cause.

Simply from the fact that we have regarded a thing with the emotion of pleasure or pain, though that thing be not the efficient cause of the emotion, we can either love or hate it.

As far back as I can remember, I am one of those guys that works hard and plays harder. I have to have both.

That's why people take vacations. No to relax or find excitement or see new places. To escape the death that exists in routine things.

Depression occurs when you are not being yourself. You're probably doing things you don't want to do.

Like everything, what compels one to put pen to paper is a great question.

I do have fun. Even when I’m fighting I’m enjoying it: I think there’s nothing as exhilarating as protecting that which you find precious.
