A champion hates to lose even more than she loves to win.

Once you've been number one, you can never be satisfied with less.

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 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.

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

Being famous before you've formed your personality, before you have that self-esteem, is dangerous.

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