Most people compliment me on maintaining my femininity while Im on the court. People like the fact that I model. My fans or little girls always say they want to play sports, but also want to be a model like me and I think thats great. – Lisa Leslie
Actually just recently I came up with that idea, watching the movie Legally Blonde and I was like, Cool, thats something I want to do. – Lisa Leslie
For me, being tall was very positive because I thought my mom was the most beautiful person ever. – Lisa Leslie
I dont think I would have been able to stick with it and been proud of who I am and be feminine out on the court. I think I would have folded to the peer pressure if I didnt have my mom to encourage me to be me and be proud of how tall I am. – Lisa Leslie
Ageism works in both directions. As a teenager in the public eye, people would talk condescendingly to me. When you get older theres this feeling that you have to start carving up your face and body. Right now Im in the middle ground – I think women in their thirties are taken seriously. – Alanis Morissette
