You want to remain hungry and stay in a good place as a competitor; at the same time, you want to be confident but not cocky. You have to realize that you can lose. We have to stay hungry, because losing is the worst thing that can happen now. That's a road we don't want to go down.

I've always felt that I'm a natural leader.

I've always been taught to care what other people think. My grandmother and mother taught me to project a positive image of myself.

People tell me that I'm always smilin' on the court. I don't think about it. I just get emotional out there.

I'm a role model. I have overcome the negativity, and I'm playing.

I did some things I regret, and I know there are people who think they know me. I've heard the things they say, and some of them are hurtful.

Either you can do it or you can't. I think I can overcome anything I put my mind to.
