I'm a perfectionist. I'm pretty much insatiable. I feel there's so many things I can improve on.

I decided I can't pay a person to rewind time, so I may as well get over it.

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.

Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.

I've always been a fighter and I've always fought through things my whole life.

I don't go there thinking I'm going to lose. I never go into a tournament thinking that. I'll do the best that I can. I need to be at my peak and my best is holding up the trophy. Anything less I wouldn't be really excited about. So that's all I can focus on.

My goal in a couple of years is to try to build a successful fashion house like Armani or Versace. I want that more than anything.
