When you travel so much, the best and most relaxing thing is to just sit on the couch and not move.

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.

There is definitely something that has to be said for me liking the action, Lara Croft type stuff. I really want to explore that side of me.

If you were a customer, would you come back to buy your products or services?

I guess my writing through time has focused on a number of dimensions that reflect separately on the meaning and social place of the female body.

I'm from the ADHD generation, to be honest - I genuinely was on Ritalin in middle school - so I'm most comfortable with a hundred things going on at once. It's deadlines that get pesky.

My sense of humor will always stand in the way of my seeing myself, my family, my race or my nation as the whole intent of the universe.
