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

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

I have often been asked whether I am a women or an athlete. The question is absurd. Men are not asked that. I am an athlete. I am a women.

If your partner wants to be private, you have to respect that.

Winning is very tangible, it's very exciting, it's very pleasing, but it's momentary. If you can do things that last, that each generation can build upon, then that's when you're cooking.

I always respect right off the bat because we are human, but then over time you learn who the person truly is, just like they learn about you. Hope it works out really well, and you hope that builds a stronger connection over time. You can't be friends with everybody.

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