I always want to win because I never want to sit out on the sidelines outside.

I was on the sideline with a knee injury and when I came back, I wanted to play at the best level I could. And that's the case for a lot of players, they want the chance to play against the best competition.

For me, getting off the sidelines means women making a difference by letting their voices be heard on the issues they care about.

They don't draft you to sit there and stand on the sideline.

You don't want a character who sits on an even playing field the whole time.

Being the first to cross the finish line makes you a winner in only one phase of life. It's what you do after you cross the line that really counts.

It's a lot easier to opine from the sidelines.

But in a tournament, you can be said in for all your money at any point so you can't make any mistakes so you have to, it's all about where you're sitting at the table.

When you are in any contest, you should work as if there were - to the very last minute - a chance to lose it. This is battle, this is politics, this is anything.

You cannot win if you're not at the table. You have to be where the action is.
