Greatest thing in life: Winning a tennis match. Second greatest thing in life: Losing a tennis match

People don't seem to understand that it's a damn war out there. Maybe my methods aren't socially acceptable to some, but it's what I have to do to survive. I don't go out there to love my enemy. I go out there to squash him.

When you're hot, anything can happen.

What works for the person you're imitating may not work for you.

I think my greatest victory was every time I walked out there, I gave it everything I had. I left everything out there. That's what I'm most proud of. I can't go win Wimbledon anymore, so if what I've done in the past is not good enough, let it go. Because I'm certainly not sitting around thinking about it.

I'm not begging to be remembered or whatever. I did my thing, and if you remember, that's even better. But if you don't, there's so many other things going on.

I was raised by two women, and that laid the groundwork for the way I treat 'em: with the utmost respect and admiration.
