My big dream was to work as a photographer for 'National Geographic.'

It shifted attention away from that and Ive never been someone who liked the attention from the media anyway.

It's so difficult to find time besides the tennis.

I never hanker after the past - I prefer to devote myself to new tasks.

I don't wake up every day and think about which tournaments I won and which titles I hold. It's something I don't care about.

Grass is a surface I have always loved, Wimbledon is a tournament I have always loved.

I suppose it's amazing how quick life goes by when you have children.

I am a person who sticks to her word.

I think it takes people to get to know you and the recognition comes over time.

I don't like the word 'businesswoman.' Perhaps 'committed mother' would be the best description.

There is no relief at it being over. There is the joy of winning it.

It doesn't hurt to lose my crown, it hurts to lose.

I don't ever look back. I look forward.

Age, what is it? It's not a figure that has ever meant anything to me.

As long as I can focus on enjoying what I'm doing, having fun, I know I'll play well.

When you lose a couple of times, it makes you realize how difficult it is to win.

I never look back, I look forward.

You can't measure success if you have never failed.

If you are still alive, then God is NOT finished with you!
