Anyone who has played the game professionally, you’re always taught that the ball is the most important, most precious thing, so when the ball hits the ground, it’s always a mad scramble.

I’ve always said that I’ve been acting my whole life, and everyone always told me, ‘you should be an actress professionally.’ I’ve heard that my whole life, so it’s kind of cool to think, ‘yeah, they were right.’ I can do this and I’m good at it, and that feels really good.

Yeah, I was ready for the NBA. Because I went through a lot of things back overseas.

I didn’t have any stability in my life, so I was probably a bit lost as a person.

I think if you have one solid, then the other one you can manage.
