I love to promote our sport. I love grass-roots tennis. I love coaching. I love all parts of the sport. I love the business side.

In business, everything starts with integrity. Otherwise it falls apart, though it does take time to find out who has integrity.

Don't worry about what people say.

I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.

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

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 got to see the best players in the world every year the week after the U.S. Nationals, which is now known as the US Open, in Los Angeles. That made a huge difference in my life.
