You pay a price for everything in life.

If you're a champion, you have to have it in your heart.

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

Losses are always a relief. They take a burden off me, make me feel more normal. If I win several tournaments in a row I get so confident I'm in a cloud. If I lose I go back to the dressing room and I'm no better nor worse than anyone else. A loss gets me eager again.

The difference is almost all mental. The top players just hate to lose. I think that's the difference. A champion hates to lose even more than she loves to win.

I think team sports probably teach you more about giving - about being unselfish and being flexible.

If you can react the same way to winning and losing, that's a big accomplishment.
