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

Women's sports is still in its infancy. The beginning of women's sports in the United States started in 1972, with the passage of Title 9 for girls to finally get athletic scholarships.

Bobby Riggs was one of my heroes. I admired him. That's one of the reasons I beat him - because I respected him.

Natural talent only determines the limits of your athletic potential. It's dedication and a willingness to discipline your life that makes you great.

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 like to see what future generations are thinking about.

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.
