If your partner wants to be private, you have to respect that.

Sports are a microcosm of society.

I feel that tennis is an art form that is capable of moving the players and the audience - at least a knowledgeable audience-in almost sensual ways. When I'm performing at my absolute best, I think that some of the euphoria I feel must be transmitted to the audience.

I wanted to use sports for social change.

We have, or have had women presidents or prime ministers in Liberia, Chile, Germany, Great Britain...and yet the US of A still hasn't had a women president. It's just beyond my thinking. Look at Congress.

I was always in the tennis business-from 1968. I was in tournaments and also on World Team Tennis teams as well.

I always liked co-ed events best so we have two men and two women on each team.
