Tennis is my job, but it's not my life.

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.

Women have to harness their power - its absolutely true. It's just learning not to take the first no. And if you can't go straight ahead, you go around the corner.

Find your center and stay there. It will allow you to live your life to its maximum.

I believe that instinct is what makes a genius a genius.

It's difficult for most of us to be completely honest with ourselves - we hate to admit how vulnerable or needful we are.

People keep asking me if I'll marry again. It's as if after you've had one car crash you want another.

Sometimes offering support and making yourself available when the child or adolescent is ready to talk can be the most helpful you can be.

There is no example on the planet of a successful economy with broadly shared prosperity and a shrinking, weak government.

If love be blind, love cannot hit the mark
