I'm really super feminine, and I'm really soft. I'm very sensitive, I realized.

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.

It is easy to hold on, but it is difficult to let it go.

I wouldn't be windmilling a Fender Telecaster if it weren't for Pete Townshend.

I worked at a daycare for a couple of years going through high school and college. I did youth sports camps. I ran all the camps through my college.

You've got to be in the moment, especially in the playoffs. If you're worried about the past, worried about what happened last game, that's a lost cause.

My parents made us dream that we could be anyone that we wanted to.

I felt like the dark hair added like a toughness to my face also, which was really important.

Most people will look back and realize they did not have a great life because it's just so easy to settle for a good life.

You have to take a lot of bad pictures. Dont' be afraid to take bad pictures... You have to take a lot of bad pictures in order to know when you've got a good one.

If you don't annoy your big sister for no good reason from time to time, she thinks you don't love her anymore.

He who is extravagant will quickly become poor; and poverty will enforce dependence, and invite corruption.
