I always wanted to help make tennis a team sport.

When you oppress people either by gender, by race, by sexual orientation, when you do that and the doors become ajar, they will fly open and they will come and they have.

In the complete overall history of tennis, I figure I'll be worth a sentence or two.... That's why my place in the all-time rankings means so very little to me, because I know I won't be anybody's number one, and it's that same old thing: if you're not number one, then what does it really matter?

Winning is very tangible, it's very exciting, it's very pleasing, but it's momentary. If you can do things that last, that each generation can build upon, then that's when you're cooking.

I used to be told if I talked about my sexuality in any way that we wouldn't have a tennis tour.

It's just really important that we start celebrating our differences. Let's start tolerating first, but then we need to celebrate our differences.

Women get the attention when we get into the men's arena, and that's sad.
