Sometimes, you know, once you pay your taxes and once you pay your expenses, once you've lived this life, things add up quickly. And it's easy to become a statistic. And that's something I've always tried to avoid, and I've always said, hey - not that it won't be me, that, hey, it could be me.

People ask me where I get my fighting qualities from, and I have to say Serena.

I know it's not the most important thing for me to win the most grand slams and be remembered in this world. I certainly don't have to win satellite tournaments here there and everywhere, I don't have to win at all. Although I do want to.

My motto has always been that you can't say, 'Oh, it won't happen to me.' You have to say, 'That can happen to me.' So always be aware that things can happen.

So what if you fail? At least you'll know what not to do when you try again.

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.

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