You know, growing up my - you know, I came from Compton, Calif., and, you know, it was a place where a lot of people did come out when a lot of people stayed. So I've been able to see the top and the bottom of life, and I think that balances you if you allow it to and if you remember where you came from.

I wear a lot of tight dresses, so I'm like, 'I need to do my sit-ups!'

In my mind, I'm always the best. If I walk out on the court (and) I think the next person is better, I've already lost.

It's a great feeling to have accomplished what I have, but I want to do more.

I knew my destiny was to be in the winner's circle. There were times along the way where I didn't make it there. But I felt my destiny was definitely to win big titles, win lots of titles.

I don't come to tournaments to make friends, to go to parties, to hold conversations. I come to be the best, and I'm not mean and cruel and dirty.

I think business is the same as tennis. You have to have the love, that helps, or else it's just too much pressure to be able to keep up with.
