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

I've had to learn to fight all my life - got to learn to keep smiling. If you smile things will work out.

I feel like I don't have to win anymore. I've had a wonderful career. Tennis has given me so much, things I would have never expected in my life. I feel honored to even be a part of such a wonderful sport.

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.

When you lose, you get up, you make it better, you TRY AGAIN.

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

The knee just isn't 100 percent. It's hard to be out there when you know that you can't play at your best and could potentially make it worse.
