When I won Wimbledon, I said to God: just let me win this one tournament and I won't play another match. Maybe God's telling me to go home, but I don't want to go home. We are negotiating at the moment.

When I started in my career, my sister was very sick so I play for her because we didn't have money.

Winning Wimbledon was a great feeling and it is still a great feeling. It has given me so much confidence.

There are not many Irish people playing tennis!

My tattoo is a cross, a rose and a shark. A cross is a cross, a rose like love and a shark is a pretty tough animal.

If you are given a lot of money without having to work for it, you won't appreciate it as much as if you made it yourself.

At her birthday, my seven-year-old daughter will say that she wants these big cakes and certain expensive toys as presents, and I can't say no to her. It would just break my heart. But when I was little, for birthdays we just played outside and we were happy if we got any cake.
