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

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.

I have a lot to say, and if I'm not No. 1, I can't say it.

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

When they take surveys of women in business, of the Fortune 500, the successful women, 80% of them, say they were in sports as a young woman.

Sports are a microcosm of society. It just shows how much more competition there is in the world.

I always listen, I ask children, I even ask adults in tennis, "What are your children playing?" And most of the time it's not tennis. It's pathetic.
