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.

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.

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.

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.
