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

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.

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

I'm a high-performance athlete: I'm running, I'm sprinting, I'm sliding, I'm doing pretty much everything and the last thing I want to worry about is my chest. I want to just worry about playing the sport at the highest level that I can.

I don't have anything to prove ever, ever in my life. If I have something to prove, what does that mean for everyone else? And I think everyone should have that attitude.

Think of all the girls who could become top athletes but quit sports because they're afraid of having too many defined muscles and being made fun of or called unattractive.

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