To feel the presence of the Lord is an amazing thing.

I'm strong, I'm tough, I still wear my eyeliner.

Most people compliment me on maintaining my femininity while I'm on the court. People like the fact that I model. My fans or little girls always say they want to play sports, but also want to be a model like me and I think that's great.

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

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.

To feel the presence of the Lord is an amazing thing.

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.

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.

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.

Right now I'm 185, which is really good for me yet very hard for me to maintain. My weight seems high for the average woman, but I've got big bones and I'm maintaining muscle.

Actually just recently I came up with that idea, watching the movie 'Legally Blonde' and I was like, 'cool, that's something I want to do.

I'm probably taller than 90% of the men I meet.

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

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.

Everyone talks about age, but it's not about age. It's about work ethic. Winning never gets old.

Actually just recently I came up with that idea, watching the movie 'Legally Blonde' and I was like, 'Cool, that's something I want to do.'

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.

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

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.

I'm a better and more educated person because of basketball.

Well, the first quality of being a good leader is you have to be able to follow. See, a good leader can't just be the leader all the time, I have to be able to follow.

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.

You just don't want to get pigeon-holed into one position. That's why even though I start out at center, I may play small forward, if I get a rebound and you're not there I can bring the ball up.

The best thing about me is that I am generally very honest - not hurtfully honest, but honest. The worst thing about me is that everybody can make me feel guilty. I feel responsible about things that don't even concern me.

I was a huge Mike Tyson fan, would sit through the night watching boxing matches and would hit the bag at every opportunity I would get.

And it sends an important message to me, because I am sick to death to hear my opponent saying Republicans don't trust me. They do trust me, in landslide proportions, and they're proving it tonight. We're going to bury that for good.

Stereotypes are the mind's shorthand for dealing with complexities. They have two aspects: they are much blunter than reality; they are shaped to fit a man's preferences or prejudgments. Thus two principles are involved: differentiation or its lack, and biased preferential perception.

To a superior race of being the pretensions of mankind to extraordinary sanctity and virtue must seem... ridiculous.

My pregame music includes a nice little mixture. Probably a little Counting Crows, maybe some Avicii. Taylor Swift.

High school is the time to find yourself and to explore with fashion and create your own identity.

Better break your word than do worse in keeping it.

The U.S. cannot impose freedom, security, and unity in Iraq by force.

When he was born, I looked at my little boy and felt an unconditional love I never knew was inside me. As he grew, and I watched him stagger about, squeak his first words, and turn into a beautiful little boy, that feeling did not change.

I'm an east coaster, you know, I'm brought up in Toronto where it's very much, like, kind of a miniature New York in that there's a subway and you're surrounded by people a lot and, you know, you bump into people and you have interactions and you communicate and la la la.

So in process of four or five years the emperor called me, as divers times he had done before.

Change equals self-improvement. Push yourself to places you haven’t been before.

The obligation of a society as prosperous as ours is to figure out how nobody gets left too far behind.

I took an MA course in creative writing a couple of years back, and I was definitely in the bottom of the class.

Time travel offends our sense of cause and effect - but maybe the universe doesn't insist on cause and effect.

I can tell really early on in a painting if I'm going to toss it or not.

The fighting in the NHL, especially, and, I think, in some of the minor leagues, it's usually the loudest and the most excited the crowd gets during the entire the game.

As for critical writing about modernism, its moments of lucidity are but fulgurations illuminating the dark and incomprehensible landscape of its subject's unabashed difficulty.

What the Internet offers is this completely unfiltered transmission of thought to thought, of psyche to psyche, and whatever you're feeling, you can just sort of put it down and send it out there, and you can do it all in the confines of your room, without any actual contact.

I like to play around with mixing high-end with more affordable pieces.

I think as youre growing up your emotions are just as deep as they are when youre an adult. Youre ability to feel lonely longing confused or angry are just as deep. We dont feel things more as we get older.

I have an older sister who sounds, unfortunately, exactly like me, and we sound like our mother did.

Woman throughout the ages has been mistress to the law, as man has been its master.
