"Today I know that there is still work to be done, but along the way I am achieving my dreams."
"So you have to take the good with the bad."
"I look at it this way: the WNBA is 13 years young. I think eventually women will get to that point, maybe in my daughter's generation, where their salaries will be similar to men's. But we're still starting off, like, where the NBA was back in the 1950s."
"You're measured by championships no matter what."
"On my best days, such as when I was a junior in high school coming off a 42-point performance and near triple-double, my dad was there to tell me I haven't arrived yet and bring me back to reality."
