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

You've got to win in sports - that's talent - but you've also got to learn how to remind everybody how you did win, and how often. That comes with experience.

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.

The main thing is to care. Care very hard, even if it is only a game you are playing.

Don't go into debt and don't spend a lot. It's not how much money you make, it's how much you spend.

I've never cared that much for cementing my place in history. Sports is so transitory, so ephemeral. It just seems like so much nonsense comparing me to Helen Wills Moody or Suzanne Lenglen or anybody else from some other time. One lesson you learn from sports is that life goes on without you.

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.
