I was always growing, so it made no sense for my mom and dad to load me up with a bunch of clothes. But I hated coming to school and feeling like a girl could be like, 'Iman's probably gon' wear this today.' So I would always have to mix and match and find a way to look different. I took a lot of pride in that.

In Chicago, growing up there, that's how we played. You play for something more than just yourself. You play to win, and that's all that really matters.

When I was growing up, all my cousins had high-top fades. I thought it would be cool to see how long I could grow a high-top.

When I was growing up, I didn't really have a lot of different things I could wear. As I got older, the more I could look different on an everyday basis, the better.

I'm a little more interested in smelling the roses, playing more golf and tennis and more cross-country skiiing and doing stuff with my kids.

The most dangerous area is the centre, which has to be either attacked or defended in football, and it's the same in chess.

Tennis was never work for me, tennis was fun. And the tougher the battle and the longer the match, the more fun I had.

I know America is very nice and very good people. I'm a professional athlete. I come here. I never have a problem with somebody about my religion, about my name. I am happy. I'm always comfortable because I never do anything wrong. All the time I do something right. I follow all the rules.
