Nerves are normal. You can't be cured from them unless you're a machine.

If I didn't play tennis I don't know where I'd be.

Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do... but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there.

I think nowadays it's so easy as an athlete to become a statistic whether or not you lose everything or having trouble or whatever it may be.

All those lessons that I've learned on the court, I have applied them to my life outside of the court in business, my company, called V Starr interiors, an interior design company, and EleVen, which I wear on court.

We don't talk about tennis. I figure she knows what she's doing. I mean, what am I going to tell her?

I don't have time to be negative.
