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.

The trouble with being number one in the world - in anything- is that it takes a certain mentality to attain that position, and that is something of a driving, perfectionist attitude, so that once you do achieve number one, you don't relax and enjoy it.

Sports are a microcosm of society.

A girl didn't get an athletic scholarship until the fall of 1972 for the very first time.

I didn't really care if I had a coach that much, me personally, because I was brought up to think for myself.

You want people to feel like they belong to something. And not be elitist. You don't want us to be elitist.

Our love one's are never gone, they have just popped into another room.
