I'm gonna play this game the way I want to. It might be serious, it might be a comedy, it might be a dramedy, it might be variety, it might be a talk show, whatever. There's no box.
I knew I needed to come out and be prepared for this game. I knew I needed to be more aggressive and make better decisions and try to be under control. I was really focused on doing that.
We try not to look too far ahead. We've had some big games come before in this season. We had to take care of (Boston College) and N.C. State and now the game is finally here and we can focus on that big game everybody has been talking about. We're looking forward to it.
We try not to look too far ahead. But now the game is finally here and we can focus on the big game everyone has been talking about, that we've been looking forward to.
We felt great at halftime. We felt like we were in good position to win the game if we played like we played in the first half.
I think we're kind of on a mission now. We don't want to lose another game from here on out, so we're going after every game like it's our last game. It should show when we play.
We've lost the last two years in that game to get to the Final Four. To finally get over that, I think we'll be more relaxed once we start playing again.
I was over it when the game ended. I try not to dwell on things that happen. It was a bad game. It was unacceptable to me, but I just have to keep moving.
We really needed that. She could be the difference in the big games from last year.
Do you know I keep a picture of Hattie McDaniel in my closet in an 8-by-10 frame?
I come from a blue-collar town - and being from that place, you learn not to let anybody take advantage of you. You don't let people mistreat you. You stand up for what's right.
Sisters, if you got a good man, honor him.
I really don't know what happened in reference to 'The Butler.' Mr. Daniels and I had a conversation. I had the script, the email that goes along with it in reference to the character, read the script, loved it. Then I never heard from Mr. Daniels again, and the next I saw was that Oprah Winfrey is now playing the part.
How did the Oscar change my life? What it did was that it gave me a new reality. And it let me know that an award wasn't going to change my life - that I had to be in control of changing my life.
