  • Basketball, I’m not just playing it... I’m really trying to go somewhere with it. Basketball is what I do. Spelling is really a side thing I do. It’s like a little hors d’oeuvre. But basketball’s like the main dish. (en)
  • Most spellers look at words simply as a sequence of letters to memorize; Zaila looked at each word as a story....Not only did she know each word's spelling, but she also knew its entire backstory - what its historical context was, what roots it came from, and the precise orthographical logic of why every letter of every word had to be exactly what it was.
