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.'
We played slow tonight, ... You have give Houston credit because they came out and jumped on us. They shot the ball really well. I think we tried to get back in it, but in the playoffs we just have to play our style of basketball.
I would like to probably have my own business. I haven't decided in what areas - maybe a spa. I like a day spa, something like that. Always giving back to women. Or big shoes because there's a huge market there. People have big feet now. Start at maybe size 10 and end at 15 with some really nice, fashionable shoes.
I think this is an awesome opportunity for us as athletes to help and give back to the hurricane victims. Money is just what they need to get back on their feet right now, and that is why we are here.
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. We're both role models who have made different choices. I don't know why we're even talking about it. It's a private matter. It has nothing to do with basketball.
I love cheesecake and whipped cream. Those are my two downfalls.
We will have to go with a big lineup to challenge them or go with a quick lineup to change the tempo of the game.
The ball went in and out. That's the way the game bounces.
They did a good job of keeping us off the boards. We felt we needed this game. We did all you can ask. We played hard and we still believe in ourselves.
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.
It's really not about the money. It's just about educating yourself.
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 always knew I wanted to be in television when I was a kid, and I knew I wanted to model.
Goal-setting and achieving those goals - that's just what I do.
