I want it to be more natural. Right now it feels really forced. Seems like I've never done a curtsy before, which may be true. But I'm looking forward to nailing it.

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.

Without ambition, nothing is achieved. Without work, nothing will be completed. The prize will not be sent until you earn it.

Will You help me hear the song You're singing over all this noise?

Live each day with a grateful gratitude.

If we don't remember where we came from, we'll go back there.

Growing apart doesn't change the fact that for a long time we grew side by side; our roots will always be tangled. I'm glad for that.

I personally believe that professional athletes should give back to their communities in any way possible. We are in a position to make a difference.

You know the expression, "It's not personal; it's business." We sneer at such rot. All business is personal, all the time.

What makes life interesting are the challenges we face.

I came out of the womb waving red lipstick.

...the still point in a turning world.
