Sisters, if you got a good man, honor him.
We weren't playing very well. We weren't running our plays well and we weren't playing good defense.
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.
We were expecting them to come back. They're a really good team, so I wasn't surprised.
All my books explore fatherhood. I look at what it means to have a big father figure at the centre: sometimes they're a good father, sometimes bad.
It's good for women's basketball to have that many people come check out a game. We're excited, especially winning when the crowd is against you. It's even nicer that way. We look forward to hearing stunned silence.
Clearly, right now I don't feel very good about how things ended. It's a tough loss. We left it all out on the floor and that's all that you can really ask for. But it really hurts now.
I think since I've been here, our fan base has gotten larger and larger. I think we're used to playing in front of pretty big crowds. It's not like the men's crowds. I think we have a good amount of fans, and I think we're comfortable playing in those situations, those environments.
We haven't beaten a team that was ranked so high by as many points. Usually, they're pretty close games. I think we just played an excellent all-around game. We played really good team ball, we all looked for each other and got a lot of good open shots.
We had one subject who was identified by residents and reportedly was bragging to residents that he would have some good stuff to pass out.
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.
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.
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.
