The game overall has gotten so much better, stronger, more physical parts to the game.

I'm glad you're doing this story on us and not on the WNBA. We're so much prettier than all the other women in sports.

I was always at peace because of the way my mom treated me.

I think the whole boycott thing was a bit too much. It's because we're accomplished so much in women's tennis in the last two, three years. We deserve something better.

What rivalry? I win all the matches.

I didn't have the same fitness or ability as the other girls, so I had to beat them with my mind.

A lot of these young girls, they dont even know what the game is about. They have never seen a drop shot, a slice and all the mixture and variety I have.

The older you get, the more you learn.

I'm not saying I'm something special. I might play a little better tennis than other people, but it is because I was given the chance, and not many people are.

I've been on top longer and I am younger. I'm just better.

I feel a quarter Indian.

Where happiness was not a possibility, the illusion of it was always more important.

You are only in control of your choices.

If you can’t believe then you can’t achieve and belief is intrinsic to every human

It was simpler just to keep things simple.

Deeds, not words - you accomplish! Do not talk!

I had these recipes that say do this, do that. Who MAKES these rules?

The only thing we're allowed to is to believe that we won't regret the choice we made.

I still like the relationship part of any story. You don't want your character to figure everything out and then at the end of the day, go home and eat soup from a can by herself.

we came to realize that a civilization which rode roughshod over the way of life of other peoples was incorporating evil in its own way of life.

The problem with anger is that it's so consuming. You've got to take it easy on yourself at a certain point.
