If I win several tournaments in a row, I get so confident I'm in a cloud. A loss gets me eager again.

When I play, I'm boiling inside. I just try not to show it because it's a lack of composure, and if you give in to your emotions after one loss, you're liable to have three or four in a row.

I realized that with hard work, the world was your oyster. You could do anything you wanted to do.

The great high of winning Wimbledon lasts for about a week. You go down in the record book, but you don't have anything tangible to hold on to. But having a baby -- there isn't any comparison.

Relationships are give-and-take, and when you're a tennis player, you're certainly not giving. You have to be self-absorbed. It has to be about you.

I was labeled at a young age - Miss Unemotional, Miss Cool, and that would carry over to my press conferences.

You can't give up! If you give up, you're like everybody else.
