I knew after my first lesson what I wanted to do with my life.

I grew up in team sports. I think I understand the psyche of America. I think when children sign up to play, it's got to be team.

I was always in the tennis business-from 1968. I was in tournaments and also on World Team Tennis teams as well.

No matter how tough, no matter what kind of outside pressure, no matter how many bad breaks along the way, I must keep my sights on the final goal, to win, win, win-and with more love and passion than the world has ever witnessed in any performance.

Ladies, here's a hint. If you're up against a girl with big boobs, bring her to the net and make her hit backhand volleys. That's the hardest shot for the well-endowed.

Ever since that day when I was 11 years old, and I wasn't allowed in a photo because I wasn't wearing a tennis skirt, I knew that I wanted to change the sport.

Reputation is what others think about you. What's far more important is character, because that is what you think about yourself.
