I love who I am, and I encourage other people to love and embrace who they are. But it definitely wasn't easy - it took me a while.

With my website, I'm really interactive. I've written a lot of things about me.

When I first started really playing, in '98, I was super excited to see all the people I grew up watching. ... I loved Monica Seles, Steffi Graf, and Pete Sampras.

Who says that your thirties is when you're supposed to be done? I would like to know who made that rule!

Everybody who plays me plays me so hard because they always want to beat me.

I've been getting my reel together. I think they are looking at me more as an actress because I have a lot of potential and a lot of skills.

I was just tired of losing... Life was passing me by.
