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

When I walk through that gate to the court, that's my escape. I block out everything, good and bad.

I learned English in one month. I told myself I should listen. In the next month I could talk to everyone. I was so happy because I could do one thing...I could talk.

I try not to hit a swing volley and run back. So my swing volley is kind of that transition to the net. It's been one of my favorite shots ever since I was young.

I want my tennis to speak for everything.

I don't follow other players or the tournaments they play. I have my own schedule and do my own thing. I never really think, 'Oh, I want to be or play like so-and-so.' I just like being myself.

If I loved a guy as much as I love my dog, the guy would be in serious trouble because I'm all over that dog, all of the time.
