“Competing in sports has taught me that if I'm not willing to give 120 percent, somebody else will.”

There's nothing masculine about being competitive. There's nothing masculine about trying to be the best at everything you do, nor is there anything wrong with it. I don't know why a female athlete has to defend her femininity just because she chooses to play sports.
I'm not good at anything except writing jokes. I wasn't good at sports, I wasn't good at anything artsy, ever. I think there was a real worry for a while about what I would be good at. I was just this chubby little Indian kid who looked like a nerd.
Even if I did have, you know, a 'Sports Illustrated' body, I'd still wear elegant clothes.
Funding for sports (and the arts) are often the first things facing the chop in difficult times.
