I've always been a big-time Scottie Pippen fan. That was my guy growing up!

I grew up in one of those households where, growing up in Detroit, you gravitate towards music and cars because we were the capital for a long time. Especially during my childhood. We were the Motown sound. We were the Motor City.

Maya Moore is one of the greatest champions in basketball, male or female.

People don't realize this, but throughout my career, I grew up patterning my game after Scottie Pippen's. I admire him for his versatility.

Everyone in my family has seen me cry before.

A few years ago, I was trying to buy a piece of land next to a house I had in Newfoundland. I discovered that the plot had been owned by a family, and the son had gone off to World War I and been killed. It began to interest me: What would have happened on that land if the son had lived, had brought up his own family there?

Our family is mixed. My oldest sister married a black man in 1962, which was way out there then.

The growing diversity of family life comes with new possibilities as well as new challenges.
