For me, at the French Open, if I wasn't playing my match I was glued to CNN watching the events unfold.

I didn't have the ability to blow people off the court, so I needed my legs, my preparation and the ability to think on my feet.

I think the French Open, in many ways, brought out a certain characteristic in me and in my game that was already there. Just the circumstances allowed for it to be able to show.

It has been a difficult road this year, but still I look at every day as a new opportunity.

As long as there's pasta and Chinese food in the world, I'm okay.

If you quit once, it's so much easier to quit the second, third, fourth time.

It's difficult sometimes when you have somebody who is of a different culture trying to make light of something that is maybe not quite something that they understand.
