I think it's great for the women to show that they are women and be feminine. And that's something that I've always promoted.

Goal-setting and achieving those goals - that's just what I do.

I always knew I wanted to be in television when I was a kid, and I knew I wanted to model.

When I watch kids play basketball, they don't know how to think the game. They know what it should look like, but they don't know why.

I have 'the first' attached to my name in a whole lot of different aspects when it comes to the sport of basketball.

It's really not about the money. It's just about educating yourself.

I don't think I would have been able to stick with it and been proud of who I am and be feminine out on the court. I think I would have folded to the peer pressure if I didn't have my mom to encourage me to be me and be proud of how tall I am.

Boys have a tendency to jump around a lot more than girls. Boys have that desire to want to dunk way more than girls do. It just never seemed like something we could truly fathom and do.

I've grown so much since 1996. I think that was the turning point of when I started to go to church every Sunday and not just because you're supposed to. But because you enjoy going and listening to the Word and being excited about it.

There's a lot of women in the WNBA. There's a lot of women who could be here. To be voted by the fans says a lot - that people are aware of what's going on. I'm really thankful. I think they just really appreciate my talent so I'm definitely grateful.

Until now, until I actually got into law class, I just never thought of it as being an interest for me, but it's really funny because now that I'm in law, I'm like 'Wow, I could be a lawyer.

For me, being tall was very positive because I thought my mom was the most beautiful person ever.
