I honestly feel like my job since I was 22 has been to be an Olympian.

I don't want to be better than you or her or him - I want to be better than I am right now

A true competitor works the hardest, cares the most, and makes the best of what they have.

Passion is a huge prerequisite to winning. It makes you willing to jump through hoops, go through all the ups and downs and everything in between to reach your goal.

That wall is your mind playing tricks on you. You just need to say, 'One more step, I can do this. I have more in me.' You'll be so proud of yourself once you push yourself past your threshold.

Adversity, if you allow it to, will fortify you and make you the best you can be.

You touch every other ball and, if you screw up, you only have one more person to back you up. You can't go hide in the corner.

To me, crying is not a sign of weakness. She wants it that bad and she puts her whole heart into it. She had really high expectations, and that's why she's so good. She just had a bad game.

We have to fight the entire time, we can't start at the end when it's getting down to crunch time. We can't leave anything on the floor.

If you are not prepared, you cannot work out intensely. If you do not perform, you cannot get results, and if you can't do your best to recover, you won't get the benefits of your hard work.

I firmly believe that when you have a foundation of respect, love of what you're doing, and a shared vision, so much is possible.

The truth is tucked inside of me, it is what I want the world to see. But do youy see it in me, oh just let it all be. I am happy being me.

Faith... must be enforced by reason... when faith becomes blind it dies.

Maybe! Maybe! Maybe if your aunt had a beard, she'd be your uncle.

I do play tennis, but I don't really like competition. I'm supposed to be so intense, but I hate competition.

My husband keeps me really honest.

If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.

They say the Universe started with a big bang. I hope everybody stood well back.

No one else has ever opened doors for me - I opened them myself.

A person should not be elected because of his faith nor should he be rejected because of his faith.

If men's minds were like dominoes, surely his would be the double blank.
