Jeannette on how she got involved playing pool:

"At the time, I had to make a living. And it was either make money doing something I love -- playing pool and hustling -- or go out and work a normal job. And at 19, 20 years old, you want to play pool. But I only took money from people who wanted to take my money. These guys would look at me and based on sex alone, feel they could handicap me. So I'd take their money. It was great seeing the looks on their faces. However, later it dawned on me that these people might have gambling problems and a family they needed to feed. And the image of where I want billiards to go ... it's not hustling. So I've changed."

Jeannette on how she got the name "The Black Widow":

"It started at this pool room in New York, the Howard Beach Billiard Club. The owner of the room, this guy Gabe, said when I first walked into the room, I was so mysterious and pretty and quiet and nobody knew who I was. Then I just walked up to the table and started whamming balls all over the place. From that point on, just teasing, he called me the Black Widow. It was just our little nickname. But then it came up once in an interview with the New York Times and, even though it was supposed to be off the record, they wrote about it. And once it was in the media, it took off."
