When you travel so many weeks a year, it's always nice to have a home-cooked meal.

I don't need many things. I don't need glamour and attention to be happy. I'm very happy being settled and working my butt off and trying to win grand slams.

We all started under the sun and finished under the lights.

I think it's so cool to be tall. Even when I'm not wearing heels people tell me I'm tall and I always take it as a complement. The good thing is I can always see everybody in the room.

I want to be different. If everyone is wearing black, I want to be wearing red.

I'm just like every other girl who likes to shop, likes to look good, likes to spend time with friends.

Whenever I have friends over, we end up eating and talking and losing track of time, and, once in a while, singing karaoke. It reminds me of the family meals we had in Russia, which always lasted a very long time. That's a tradition I miss.
