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.

Victory is very, very sweet. It tastes better than any dessert you've ever had.

I love who I am, and I encourage other people to love and embrace who they are. But it definitely wasn't easy - it took me a while.

I think it's bad when people start booing between serves.

I don't like to lose-at anything... Yet I've grown most not from victories, but setbacks. If winning is God's reward, then losing is how he teaches us.

There's always another record, then there's always another person to catch up with or to pass.

I went on the courts with just a ball and a racket and a hope...and that's all I had.
