I grew up watching my mom in the kitchen, that's how I know anything about cooking. I've always wanted to go to a culinary class actually.

Honestly, I don't read the press. I don't know what they're saying.

I've always considered myself the best and the top. I never considered that I was out of it.

I am here to play women's tennis. I'm a lady. Predominantly, most of the time I always like to play ladies.

I'm an athlete and I'm black, and a lot of black athletes go broke. I do not want to become a statistic, so maybe I overcompensate. But I'm paranoid. Oprah told me a long time ago, 'You sign every check. Never let anyone sign any checks.'

If you smile things will work out.

I wanted to get really fit. I wanted to lose some weight. So I've been doing Pilates and yoga, trying to lean out my body so I won't be bulky.
