I love Russia.
I really subscribe to the 'look good, feel good' mantra in terms of playing, in terms of getting out there.
I actually don't consider myself that private. I know that's how I've been characterized. That's OK.
Seattle is my home.
I am thrilled to be re-signing with the Storm. This franchise and city have been incredibly supportive throughout my career, and I am looking forward to getting back to work with my teammates.
Be a gunner? Me? I don't think I can do it. But I'll go for whatever the assist record is.
I like knowing where my teammates are without having to look.
I'd love to have another chance to represent my country in the Olympics. If I'm healthy, absolutely... I'm very realistic when it comes to goals. I think it will all depend on my health.
There's something nice about being part of a trailblazing group. It's hard to look at myself that way because I look at Lisa Leslie and Sheryl Swoops and Rebecca Lobo and Dawn Staley in that way.
I always thought front office work, being with the team day in and day out, that was something I wasn't going to get to until I was done.
I think when you go through any surgery, your body changes. And with that, it can be probably the toughest mental challenge you're gonna face.
The reality is, like, women's basketball players are playing against women. And we're all in the same boat the same way men's sports is.
Going into your rookie year, whatever team does take you, and you get to camp, there's going to be a lot of talent in that gym. You're going to walk in a gym - and no matter what - there's going to be a lot of talent.
At the end of the day, you have to put yourself first.
I've been on extremely talented teams that just don't click, and I've also been on team with a little bit less talent, but they clicked, and because they clicked, they did better than other talented teams I've been on.
I'm New York-born and raised.
I definitely eat carbs. I repeat: I do eat carbs. I'm just selective on which carbs I eat and when. I won't eat things like pasta and bread at night, but in terms of fueling a workout and recovering from one, carbs are great.
My best vacations have been in Hawaii.
I read 'Twilight' when I was overseas. I actually liked it. I didn't expect to, because I generally don't like fantasy like that because it's far-fetched, but I liked it. It's pretty good.
I think when you've played in a league for as long as I have, it would be foolish for a coach not to ask a player with that kind of knowledge about other players. A lot of this goes beyond the court. Are they a good teammate? Are they good in the locker room? What's their attitude like? Do they work hard?
