I'm not an overly ambitious person; I don't feel like I have to excel.

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

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

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

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.

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

I love hiking in the mountains in Aspen. Breathing the clean, fresh air is great. Plus, it gives me a cardiovascular workout and firms my legs.
