Quotes
“I HAD SIZE 12 FEET WHEN I WAS 10, SO I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE 6′ 8″. MY GOAL WAS TO BE ABLE TO DUNK A BASKET. I WOUND UP BEING 6′ 1″ WITH SIZE 14 FEET. I GOT THE RAW END OF THE DEAL.”
“I NEVER LIVED THE LIFE OF ‘OH, YOU’RE SO GOOD-LOOKING’. PEOPLE THOUGHT I WAS A GIRL WHEN I WAS LITTLE, BECAUSE I LOOKED LIKE A GIRL-MAYBE BECAUSE MY MOTHER WOULD KEEP MY HAIR REALLY LONG IN A BOWL CUT. I WAS IN A COFFEE SHOP ONCE AND THE WAITRESS WAS LIKE, ‘WHAT DO YOU WANT, MISS?’ I WAS 10 OR 11-THE WORST AGE TO HAVE THAT HAPPEN. I HAD A JEAN JACKET ON AND A METALLICA PIN. I THOUGHT I WAS REALLY COOL.”
