I was looking in the mirror today and my waist is still 28 inches. I think it's all because I have a large bosom and a large ass. I have a large ass and it always just looks like I'm bigger than the rest of the girls. I could lose 20 pounds and I'm still going to have these knockers and I'm going to have this ass, and that's just the way it is.

I just hate to lose. When I am on the court, it is like my life depends on it.

Venus told me the other day that champions don't get nervous in tight situations. That really helped me a lot. I decided I shouldn't get nervous and just do the best I can.

I just love leopard print.

The tournament means so much to me as well as the things I do in Africa. I thought it could also work well together.

If anything, you know, I think losing makes me even more motivated.

I have started to realize that I am really just a world athlete and a world entertainer -- I am a world-known person, I am a global icon.
