I always say that when I'm playing well, no one can beat me. I'm not just saying that to sound full of myself or anything, but it's true.

I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall

The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise each other up. Make sure you're very courageous: be strong, be extremely kind, and above all be humble.

I am lucky that whatever fear I have inside me, my desire to win is always stronger.

Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.

We're sisters, we're roommates, we're all that.

I don't like to lose-at anything... Yet I've grown most not from victories, but setbacks. If winning is God's reward, then losing is how he teaches us.

Everyone's dream can come true if you just stick to it and work hard.

You have to believe in yourself when no one else does.

I always believe I can beat the best, achieve the best. I always see myself in the top position.

When we make the choice to care, we set into motion a snowball effect that touches many people, most of whom we will never know about . . . never underestimate the importance of a kind act.

There twice a day the Severn fills; The salt sea-water passes by, And hushes half the babbling Wye, And makes a silence in the hills.

I would just think that I would remember modeling for the cover of an album with Tom Waits, who I've always loved.

The best legacy we leave is not for our children but in our children.

Healing comes from the healed; not from the physician.

That's what we do on "MasterChef," on "Junior." No school teachers, no parents, let it go. You're going to go on a challenge. We're going to go to hell and back, and we're going to have some bumps.

But we have to ask ourselves, what's the purpose of the stock market? It's supposed to be a source of capital for growing business. It's lost that purpose.

The immediate facts are what we must relate to. Darkness and light, beginning and end.

Some people say I’m a dreamer, others say, 'If you fall asleep at work again we’re going to have to let you go'.
