I wish I could have won a lot more tournaments, but I got injured every time I played well.

There wasn't a rich father or rich family that paid for everything that I have right now, so I worked my way.

I give up on spending time on these courts; I give up on practicing before the tournament I hate. I hate this.

It's frustrating when you want to play but can't. I didn't touch a racket for three weeks and when I started playing again last week, I still felt some pain in my wrist.

It's too much pressure. You have to think match by match and moment by moment or it drives you to distraction. I'm tired of all the talk about it. Everyone is obsessed with it...If I was the type of person who had tennis, tennis, tennis all the time and I went to bed and ended up dreaming about tennis, I would go nuts.

Right now my main aim is not to get injured any more. I am a little bit afraid of running and sliding because the ankle was so painful. But I am not a person who runs a lot, who spends a lot of energy on the court. If I am mentally OK, if nothing is bothering me and I want to play, then it is fine.

I could pose in fashion commercials as a high society star but politics is a new way of life.
