I always liked co-ed events best so we have two men and two women on each team.

Sports are a microcosm of society.

Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose-it teaches you about life.

I would just never out anybody. I think everyone has to find it in their own way and their own time.

Any therapist will tell you that when you're ready, you will come out. To be outed means you weren't ready.

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.

I got to see the best players in the world every year the week after the U.S. Nationals, which is now known as the US Open, in Los Angeles. That made a huge difference in my life.
