I think in life you should work on yourself until the day you die.

If you can keep playing tennis when somebody is shooting a gun down the street, that's concentration.

I've almost lost several times but come through that. Being able to play your way through the tournament is really able to help.

Someone like Billie Jean King is completely my idol.

I don't want to end my career and then start something. I like to do something while my career is still hot and I've always enjoyed designing.

I think it's bad when people start booing between serves.

I love "Phenomenal Woman." The experiences she had of being African American in the U.S. - that itself is a task. I appreciate the hardships Maya Angelou went through for our generation. I'm super influenced by the black people that paved the way for us.
