No, I don't read the papers. I just look at the pictures.

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.

What did Jesus come to do? God saves.

You've got to perform in a role hundreds of times. In keeping it fresh one can become a large, madly humming, demented refrigerator.
