I will tell you King's First Law of Recognition: You never get it when you want it, and then when it comes, you get too much.

Victory is fleeting. Losing is forever.

It's really impossible for athletes to grow up. On the one hand, you're still a child, still playing a game. But on the other hand, you're a superhuman hero that everyone dreams of being. No wonder we have such a hard time understanding who we are.

I wanted to use sports for social change.

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!

Be bold. If you're going to make an error, make a doozy, and don't be afraid to hit the ball.

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