What I would tell girls coming up is just be yourself and don't let people get in the way.

I shouldn't say I'm looking forward to leading a normal life, because I don't know what normal is. This has been normal for me.

I've been active in animal rights and all kinds of environmental stuff and children's charities over the years.

I would have drunk a lot of Pinot Grigio if I'd lost after leading 5-2 in the third.

Keeping a journal of what's going on in your life is a good way to help you distill what's important and what's not.

Sport doesn't know barriers, really. You are judged on your performance... how far you can jump, how fast you can run, how well you can hit a tennis ball.

Security used to be an inconvenience sometimes, but now it's a necessity all the time.

If I feel strongly, I say it. I know I can do more good by being vocal than by staying quiet. I'd have a whole lot more money if I lied, but I wouldn't enjoy spending it.

Tennis has given me soul.

You don't have to be pretty for people to come and see you play. At the same time, if you're a good athlete, it doesn't mean you're not a woman.

No matter where I go, I always make friends at the bridge table

All top players are the same strokewise, but mentally I can improve and that's where it's at for top players.

I have always had this outrage at being told what to, how to act, whom to love.

I'm not involved in tennis but committed.

I just try to concentrate on concentrating.

The more people come out, the less it will be an issue.

You can't live in the past, there's nothing you can do about it.

Losing still hurts, but that's good. When it stops hurting, that's when I stop playing.

Variety is what I would recommend: As variety is the spice of life in food, so it is in exercise. Change it up. But most of all, don't overdo it.
