Of course, I want to be number one. But being happy and healthy is the most important thing.

Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do... but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there.

I don't focus on what I'm up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.

Just believe in yourself. Even if you don't, pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.

My motto is: I'm alive, so that means I can do anything.

In my mind, I'm always the best. If I walk out on the court (and) I think the next person is better, I've already lost.

Tennis is mostly mental. Of course, you must have a lot of physical skill, but you can't play tennis well and not be a good thinker. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.

When you lose, you're more motivated. When you win, you fail to see your mistakes and probably no one can tell you anything.

In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.

If I cared deeply about what people thought of me, I probably would have never made it out of Compton, California.

My first job is big sister and I take that very seriously.

Although it's easy to forget sometimes, a share is not a lottery ticket... it's part-ownership of a business.

The entire ocean is affected by a single pebble.

This maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me.

We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the songs the sirens sang.

My encyclopedic knowledge of rock and roll is a millstone around my neck.

..."I ran out of stock around midnight and dropped by a place, got some Chinese." I hoped he meant takeout.

I don't consider myself to have a style or anything, I just do what I like to do and I try to do it best!

I'm not a tweeter or a Facebooker or a Grammer. I'm a real grump when it comes to technology. I'm like, come on, just write me a letter.

I'll retire when they pry my cold, dead fingers off of my Bible.

I know zoos are no longer in people's good graces. Religion faces the same problem. Certain illusions about freedom plague them both.
