Sexuality and gender don't change anyone's performance on the court.

I can't help who I fall in love with. No one can.

For me, honestly, it's not about individual accomplishments, individual award. It's about what I've got to do and how I can contribute to the team.

It didn't matter how good I was. It was always, 'You're a girl. You can't play with the guys.' It's always been motivation for me.

Being gay has nothing to do with the three gold medals or the three MVPs or the four championships I've won. I'm still the same person. I'm Sheryl.

I never really officially retired from the WNBA, I just left the doors open.

I didn't grow up thinking, 'Oh, maybe someday I'm going to have a shoe named after me.'

I never thought a basketball shoe would be named after a woman, let alone me.

Discovering I'm gay just sort of happened much later in life.

There is nothing I've been through in my life that I regret, or that I would go back and change. I feel like everything that happened - personally and professionally - I went through for a reason, and I learned from those things.
