On Chris Evert: Before I even met her, she stood for everything I admired in this country: poise, ability, sportsmanship, money, style.

Sport doesn't know barriers, really. You are judged on your performance... how far you can jump, how fast you can run, how well you can hit a tennis ball.

I just try to concentrate on concentrating.

You can't live in the past, there's nothing you can do about it.

The mark of great sportsmen is not how good they are at their best, but how good they are their worst.

If it feels right in your gut, this is who you are, this is what you do, this is what you feel, then don't hide that. You just stick to it and the world will catch up.

Changes made to please others are unrealistic, but more important, they're unfair to you.
