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?

The old boy network is still very strong and very true. Just look at the stock exchange and how many men and women are there. It is still very much run by men.

When we reach the point where the women athletes are getting their pick of dates just as easily as the men athletes, then we've really and truly arrived. Parity at last!

I always listen, I ask children, I even ask adults in tennis, "What are your children playing?" And most of the time it's not tennis. It's pathetic.

I always wanted to help make tennis a team sport.

No one changes the world who isn't obsessed.

My whole life has been about equal rights and opportunities. For me it really goes back to the health of mind, body and soul.
