My whole life has been about equal rights and opportunities. For me it really goes back to the health of mind, body and soul.

I think younger players probably just think they are who they are-they don't think about coming out. Unless you're number one in the world, nobody cares, usually.

Everyone has people in their lives that are gay, lesbian or transgender or bisexual. They may not want to admit it, but I guarantee they know somebody.

When I was playing, we didn't have to compete against everybody in the world. Now it's a truly global sport, so the competition's much greater, just like it is for our children in every other area, whether it be in science or technology or whatever you talk about.

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

Martina and I went through a very bad five years. Everything's very good between us now, but it was a long haul.

Women get the attention when we get into the men's arena, and that's sad.
