I don't think you can say that one aspect of my life built my perspective. It is a combination of my faith, my family, the people I've met at Connecticut and understanding that basketball is a platform for something bigger than the game, helping people, touching people's lives.

We truly do live in an amazing country.

Coming onto the Jordan Brand absolutely gives more attention to women's basketball and basketball in general.

I wanted to make it clear I wouldn't play in the 2020 season and the Olympics, but don't think it's the right time to put retirement out there.

I'm a basketball fan, I'm a fan of greatness and I think anybody who knows anything about basketball knows great shooters.

It's one of those things, you keep showing up, doing what you do, doing what you love to do, and fortunately we win the game - because you can't get the MVP if you don't win the game.

Everyone thinks about retirement at some point.

There are different ways to lead throughout a practice or a year. Whatever that moment needs is something I've always tried to be ready to do.

I'm going to be learning until the day I retire. There is so much to grow and focus on in this game of basketball that I'm never done.

I don't pay attention to a lot of people - I pay attention to a select few, and that's worked out well for me.

I think legacies are most meaningful with the impressions that a person can leave on a group of people.

I need to continue to be wise, be efficient and prepared for every game that I play leading up to the Olympics.

From the energy of the Olympic crowd to the celebratory feel of the Brazilian culture, I expect nothing less than an exciting and unforgettable 2016 event.

When I was a kid, I was big into saving up my money.

I play the drums, I love to sing. I'll make a beat anywhere - on the wall, on the floor - and I can have fun doing just about anything.

I'm pretty into music. Anything with music I love... I'm really big on lyrical content plus a good beat.

When I think of the most valuable coach, I definitely think of a coach like Geno Auriemma, and the things I learned from him that stick out in my mind are his passion for the game, competing at all the little things and doing it at a high level.

When I was in high school, we won our state championship my sophomore year. We worked so hard that year because we had lost in the state championship the year before.

Any time you have an opportunity to do something for the first time, it's super exciting, and I just want to soak up everything, and each experience... just to say that you've represented your country at the Olympics, it's such a rare opportunity.

I want to succeed, but I want to make an impact in the people's lives that I'm around. So that means teammates, fans, coaches, staff, everybody.

Not being able to end the last game of my college career with a win, it really hurts.

I think if you can find competitive people, they'll make any environment that they go to winners.

I never want to say that I had glory days. I like to think that every new year there's something great that can happen, something great will happen, whether it's a basketball thing or an off-the-court thing.

It's a great feeling to be recognized for all the hard work that I've put in.

I don't have many superstitions, but I do have a few things I like to do out of routine and habit before a game.

We play so hard and overall the Olympics are such a positive experience.

That's where I got my passion for the game, watching the WNBA on TV. Cynthia Cooper, Raise the Roof, We Got Next, I was into all of it.

My mom showed me how important it is to surround yourself with opportunities and make the most of them.

I want to be one of those players who you watch on film and say, 'Where's the weakness?'

I want to be one of those players like Jason Kidd, who is always in tune with the game and sees several plays ahead.

Great coaches help create an environment that makes the players want to be successful and work hard and accomplish goals for their teammates.

You can have X's and O's, you can have talent, but if you don't have a vision, it won't work.

What defines 'success' - answering that question - is so important when you're growing up as an athlete. Success for one kid is different than for another kid.

In this journey there is so much to my life that I just do privately... I don't really make it a huge priority to tell every single thing that I do every single day about my life.

Eating cleaner has helped me with recovery, to keep my body in position to play as many minutes as my team needed.

The most satisfying way to play basketball is when you can get the best out of everyone on the court.

I'm fortunate to be a player who can do a lot of things well. Not everything perfectly, but several things well.

Trying to fit my strengths with my teammates' strengths, utilizing everyone to the max, is really fun to watch and really a fun way to play.

I'm just going to continue to make good plays. Making the right decisions, good decisions with the ball so my team can play with a great flow.

You need to be able to find joy in something that requires so much of yourself. I have to have that deeper meaning in my work and in my everyday life.

It's tough, but you can still find joy in the struggle. Going through a season with a lot of struggles, I got a lot of practice. You have to set yourself up for joy, give yourself the best opportunity to have that going on inside.

I take an approach of focusing on characteristics and qualities that I want to be as a teammate and the numbers will take care of themselves.

Sometimes when you're young and a little more immature, you can overdo things or not really have your legs under you.

Most of the time I'm really not aware of what I am doing. I'm just so locked into the moment.

I'm a basketball junkie. I watch basketball all the time.

I enjoyed practices at college. That is where you really get down and dirty and really get some development and see what you have.

It's crazy, it really is, to just be fortunate enough to continue to be in positions to win, to be playing well, to be healthy.

Both of my grandmothers are aging well, and my mom is, too. I've got some good genes.

Opinions are very easily heard in our media and technology-type of world that we're in. I just try to stay focused on the people that I'm around every day that I work with, that I trust and value.

I just try to make sure, in everything I do, I do what I'm supposed to be doing in a confident and a humble way at the same time. It's been working for me.
