I have this terrible dark side to my personality, which playing tennis keeps at bay

I did realize more than ever, after the stabbing, that tennis is a business - a tough business.

Madonna has total control over her life, and not many women have that

It's a drag having to wear socks during matches, because the tan, like, stops at the ankles. I can never get my skin, like, color coordinated.

Tennis is so competitive. I guess that's the way it has to be.

Did you know that Christmas Day is absolutely the best day to fly? It is. No crowded airports and crowded planes. I always flew to Australia. That's what Christmas was for me - a plane journey to the next tournament

That's the key to success, isn't it? It has to be fun.
