I've never been over-dramatic in my whole career.

We're going in really fresh. We're going to have fresh legs and bodies, we're going to be able to stay the distance, and that's our goal.

People see me on the court only as a superhero, grunting and winning. They think you're a robot, and I'm not.

I want to knock on people's doors and preach. But I also meet a lot of people on planes and in restaurants, and you can preach with them or place some literature with them.

My siblings and I kept everything to ourselves, and rather than blowing up in an instant, my family broke apart slowly.

An important aspect of the current situation is the strong social reaction against suggestions that the home language of African American children be used in the first steps of learning to read and write.

One day I was at the park with my family, all my cousins and stuff, in Frankston... We were all just singing a song and my aunty was like 'oh guys, she can actually hold a note.' I think that's the earliest memory of someone actually pointing me out as someone that has an ability to sing. I was probably like 7 years old.

I not only enjoy a really great friendship with both my girls but also a close mother-daughter bond as well.
