There are so many steps you have to go through to reach a high level, so youre kind of building your own, I would say, mountain. You have to go piece by piece by piece. When youre young and really ambitious, you want to jump right up. It kind of teaches you a lesson, I would say.

That's what I love about kids. They don't care about anything else but who you are as a person.

My grandmother is the person who inspires me the most.

I don't really care how I sound.

I hope I was a good example of women's tennis.

Things are never perfect, so I never get too high about things, or get too down about things anymore.

I have learned how to better handle things as they come.
