I love tennis more than designing because it's actually easier and I don't get nearly as nervous.

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.

We are here on earth for a while.

Culture is taking the background you come from and either running with it or running from it.

A hopeful journey is more important than the destination.

I always try to address where I am. I'll talk to the people and try to find out what it is about that particular place that makes it distinct from everywhere else.

Where there is the necessary technical skill to move mountains, there is no need for the faith that moves mountains.

I think it was much better when you got on your horse and rode two miles to talk to your neighbor.

Pretty people aren't as accepted as other people. It's like, 'She's pretty and thin and she's got to have problems. She's messed up.'

The educated elite is not without their own actual snobbery. And I kind of an anti-elitist in that regard.

It's amazing as women how many excuses we make when a guy doesn't call or text. It's unbelievable.

I knew what I did and I knew how I did it, but I didn't know why.
