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

When I'm 32? Hopefully I'll have made my mark with a few different movies, some scary ones and some comedies. I'm really funny, I have a great personality on the camera.

I really hope that I can be helpful in that journey because I do believe that women deserve the same pay. We work just as hard as men do. I've been working, playing tennis, since I was three years old. And to be paid less just because of my sex - it doesn't seem fair.

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.'

I'm really super feminine, and I'm really soft. I'm very sensitive, I realized.

I'm definitely not at my best. Honestly, I'm under 50 percent. But I've won stuff under 50 percent before.

You have to believe in yourself when no one else does.
