Every generation I think gets better usually [in tennis].

Men still get a lot more opportunity. It is still a big part of the old boy network... They have more companies they can get money from.

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

In 1973, women got 59 cents on the dollar; now we are getting 74 cents on the dollar. In the area of finance and business, we are at 68 cents on the dollar.

Pressure is a privilege ... it's what you do with it that matters.

I hate being called a homosexual because I don't feel that way. It really upsets me ... Being gay can happen in any walk of life, in any world. If you have one gay experience, does that mean you're gay? If you have one heterosexual experience, does that mean you're straight? Life doesn't work quite so cut and dried.

Tennis taught me so many lessons in life. One of the things it taught me is that every ball that comes to me, I have to make a decision. I have to accept responsibility for the consequences every time I hit a ball.
