For me, by far, the Olympics is the biggest sporting event in the world.

I don't play any tournaments to come second best.

It's not the end of the world to lose.

In tennis, it is not the opponent you fear, it is the failure itself, knowing how near you were but just out of reach.

I used to think that losing made you more hungry and determined but after my success at the Olympics and the U.S. Open I realise that winning is the biggest motivation.

You have to go into each match believing you can beat all of the players.

Give it everything you've got. Leave nothing out there.

Where resources are plentiful (i.e. no constraints), you will find very little creativity. Where resources are scarce (i.e. many constraints), you will find an abundance of creativity.

I'll be supporting anyone but England.

I think most players would love, at one stage in their career, to say, 'I've been No. 1 in the world.

A believer may pass through much affliction, and yet secure very little blessing from it all. Abiding in Christ is the secret of securing all that the Father meant the chastisement to bring us.

(I didn’t tell him that thediagnosis came three months after I got my first period. Like: Congratulations! You’re a woman. Now die.)

I will keep smiling, be positive and never give up! I will give 100 percent each time I play. These are always my goals and my attitude.

You’re every single fantasy I've ever had.

Jack the Rabbit and Weak Knee Willie, you know they're gonna be there. Sloppy Sue and Big Bones Billy, they'll be coming up for air.

Nancy Reagan, when presented with kids with really painful disabilities and deformities, she was completely undaunted.

Whatever you condemn, you have done yourself.

I enjoy living in a nice house and having a nice life. So I do two or three commercials overseas a year to sort of fill in, because they pay pretty well.

Thinking faith thoughts, and speaking faith words, will lead the heart out of defeat and into victory.

Revenge is the raging fire that consumes the arsonist.

The duty of the media is to observe truth and social responsibility.
