I have started to realize that I am really just a world athlete and a world entertainer -- I am a world-known person, I am a global icon.

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.

Think of all the girls who could become top athletes but quit sports because they're afraid of having too many defined muscles and being made fun of or called unattractive.

Sadness is a bruise on the skin of memory.

I'm afraid you can't create tragedy out of abnormal psychology.

If you try to do too much, you will not achieve anything.

The hand is the visible part of the brain.

It is the last thing we learn, / listening to the creature world.

Running has given me the courage to start, the determination to keep trying, and the childlike spirit to have fun along the way. Run often and run long, but never outrun your joy of running.

Players come and go, good friends, players who performed well. You can't control that.

I like doing the promotional work. It's part of the film's process. Cannes was very wonderful to premiere.

It is to those who have the most need of us that we ought to show our love more especially.
