My mother always made me do ball-handling and all that because she was like, 'What if you stop growing?'

I grew up in Flint, Michigan so I'm used to broken promises so I don't look forward to anything. I look forward to the now. I don't even like planning trips more than a week ahead because you don't know how you're going to feel a week from now.

My career was dwindling down and I got to be in Golden State for two years and show I still have it.

I feel like in the course of my career, I've been in the iPhone era and the dilution of the big man.

Both of my children - my daughter Caroline, a public school teacher, and my son Elliot, an Army Ranger - are dedicating their lives to public service; thus, they have inspired my own decision to run for Congress.

We're a huge hockey family. I took to it really quickly, and I was in love with it.

I've had my family around me all the time, and that's been a great help.

I think women today are really struggling with these dual roles: How do you have a full-time career and be ambitious and still take care of your family?
