Being Number One isn't everything to me, but for those few hours on the court it's way ahead of whatever's in second place.

Champions keep playing until they get it right.

I have often been asked whether I am a women or an athlete. The question is absurd. Men are not asked that. I am an athlete. I am a women.

Pressure is a privilege - it only comes to those who earn it.

Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose-it teaches you about life.

I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.

Men can have a huge turnover of sponsorship and still survive a lot better than the women. But the women's ratings are better, at least at home in the United States than in the men's tennis.

Natural talent only determines the limits of your athletic potential. It's dedication and a willingness to discipline your life that makes you great.

The main thing is to care. Care very hard, even if it is only a game you are playing.

Reputation is what others think about you. What's far more important is character, because that is what you think about yourself.

Ever since that day when I was 11 years old, and I wasn't allowed in a photo because I wasn't wearing a tennis skirt, I knew that I wanted to change the sport.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!

Maintain an attitude of anticipating success!

My mother was a single mom, and most of the women I know are strong.

When I use the camera, I often feel likeI know part of the people or places I come in contact with.

The wonderful thing about a TV show is if you get picked up for another season, there's no happily ever after.

Trance had become a dirty word. Thanks to Ian Van Dahl, Lasgo, Flip 'N' Fill and DJ Sammy, a generation of kids has grown up thinking trance is the shittiest music since country and western.

I don't try to pretend to be what I'm not. I don't feel I need to do anything outrageous.

If you do not use a muscle or any part of the body, it tends to become atrophic. So is the case with the brain. The more you use it, the better it becomes.

I admire people who are, by nature, kind and fair to others.

We are the echo of the future.
