I remember [Ling] from the County tournament last year. I made sure she couldn't post up. The main point of practice was that everyone should collapse on her if she gets the ball.

She was huge, absolutely huge. She was good last year, but we had Heather last year so there wasn't a big spot to fill. She's very tough and strong. She's probably got the biggest heart on the team.

We knew it was going to be a very close game. I didn't expect it to be this intense. This was a little more than I expected. It felt like [the] States all over again.

I love clothes. I can't control myself. I have a huge fetish for shoes and clothes and make-up. I'm the kind of person who doesn't like to wear things over and over again.

I always look forward to the holidays because I love dressing up in festive, shimmery evening dresses.

When I was a child, there was very little money, so I've always been concerned for my financial security, which has meant that finding myself as a writer was a bad move. The practical difference the money has made is that I can support myself by fiction. That is what I have been trying to do throughout my life.
