I'm really exciting. I smile a lot, I win a lot, and I'm really sexy.

In the locker rooms, I'm always suggesting, "You need Berlei." Because it's the best brand for women and for me.

Family's first, and that's what matters most. We realize that our love goes deeper than the tennis game.

It's remarkable she [Venus Williams] plays at all, given her Sjögren's syndrome [an autoimmune disorder that can cause joint pain]. She's back, winning tournaments. She didn't allow society to tell her, "You have this disease; you can't do that anymore." I look at her, like, "She's not playing at 100 percent. You are. You don't have excuses." Knowing what she went through helped me try to be a more positive person.

I'm like a chameleon. I can kind of change and get my game going to whatever the situation is. If I play well, which I don't think I've even reached yet at all in this tournament, it's really hard for anyone on the women's tour to beat me.

I'm so frugal, you wouldn't believe it.

I played pretty well in my twenties, don't get me wrong! But my consistency is better [in my thirties], my momentum is better, my wins are quicker.
