More quotes by Martina Navratilova
I have always had this outrage at being told what to, how to act, whom to love.
Martina Navratilova
The goal for the Laureus Sport For Good Foundation is to give kids an opportunity to be involved in sports and hopefully learn some lessons along the way. We want to put them in a safe environment, help them if they need it and maybe they will get a scholarship to a school because of the skills that they learn. Sport is just a starting point.
Martina Navratilova
Concentration is born on the practice court... you must mentally treat your practice sessions as matches, concentrating on every ball you hit.
Martina Navratilova
People in the States used to think that if girls were good at sports their sexuality would be affected. Being feminine meant being a cheerleader, not being an athlete. The image of women is changing now. You don't have to be pretty for people to come and see you play. At the same time, if you're a good athlete, it doesn't mean you're not a woman.
Martina Navratilova
Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people.

The tennis ball doesn't know how old I am. The ball doesn't know if I'm a man or a woman or if I come from a communist country or not. Sport has always broken down these barriers.
Martina Navratilova
The longer I stay in the States, the more I understand how important it is to smile and seem like a nice guy. Like Ronald Reagan. Your image seems to count more than what you do.
Martina Navratilova
There is no cheap way to achieve the ability to turn pro in tennis it unfortunately is more expensive than team sports.
Martina Navratilova
I'm an American. You can't go on where you were born. If you do then John McEnroe would be a German.
Martina Navratilova
I haven't bought any leather articles for a very long time. My ideal is to be able to avoid all animal products, in food as well as clothing.
Martina Navratilova
Sure I know where the press room is - I just look for where they throw the dog meat.
Martina Navratilova
I came to live in a country I love some people label me a defector. I have loved men and women in my life I've been labeled the bisexual defector. Want to know another secret? I'm even ambidextrous. I don't like labels. Just call me Martina.
Martina Navratilova
Some players when they become No. 1 they put too much pressure on themselves.
Martina Navratilova
Whoever said, 'It's not whether you win or lose that counts,' probably lost.
Martina Navratilova
I think retirement beats the heck out of life after death, that's for sure.
Martina Navratilova
I would have drunk a lot of Pinot Grigio if I'd lost after leading 5-2 in the third.
Martina Navratilova
I've been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.
