Sue Bird Quotations

Going to college and living with someone of another race gave me a different view of what people have to go through.

I have to be more assertive-I have take more control at crunch time.

When you have teammates just as talented as you, it's kind of weird to get all the attention.

I knew I would be able to come back from the injury 100 percent.

I'm a bit of a perfectionist, but you have to know you're going to make mistakes. It's how you respond to those mistakes that counts.

People probably assume I sleep in my uniform. Then I get up and go to the mall or the market in my uniform.

I like pressure. I thrive on it.

To be successful, you have to expose yourself to different situations-different styles of play, different teammates, different coaching.

I'll play until my knees fall off.

It's a different group, (and) something a lot of people didn't think we could do. It's pretty amazing. We're pretty proud of it, and we also know that our work is not done. At this point, everybody is 0-0. The slate has been wiped clean. Playoffs are a fresh start and you have to win two games out of three.
