I wanted to use sports for social change.

Champions keep playing until they get it right.

I have often been asked whether I am a women or an athlete. The question is absurd. Men are not asked that. I am an athlete. I am a women.

Pressure is a privilege - it only comes to those who earn it.

Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose-it teaches you about life.

I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.

Men can have a huge turnover of sponsorship and still survive a lot better than the women. But the women's ratings are better, at least at home in the United States than in the men's tennis.

Natural talent only determines the limits of your athletic potential. It's dedication and a willingness to discipline your life that makes you great.

The main thing is to care. Care very hard, even if it is only a game you are playing.

Reputation is what others think about you. What's far more important is character, because that is what you think about yourself.

Ever since that day when I was 11 years old, and I wasn't allowed in a photo because I wasn't wearing a tennis skirt, I knew that I wanted to change the sport.

Everything takes time. Bees have to move very fast to stay still.

New York was always so beautiful in the very crux of parting with it.

Two halves of the same whole.They cannot live together, yetcannot die apart.

Usually, the best thing is when the band goes to the bar and gets the corner table, we sit there like kings, and then they bring people to us. It's just rock 'n' roll. It's stupid, really.

Higher education cannot be a luxury reserved just for a privileged few. It is an economic necessity for every family. And every family should be able to afford it.

People see in stories what they’re looking for, my young friend.

When the enemy advances, withdraw; when he stops, harass; when he tires, strike; when he retreats, pursue.

A wise person speaks carefully and with truth, for every word tht passes between one's teeth is meant for something.

I love the future we might invent for ourselves that I have not yet dreamt of.

As you believe, so it is for you.
