A lot of people say, Oh, I get this high from working out. I've never felt that, maybe because I've worked out for so long it's just a norm for me to push super, super hard. I don't feel the euphoria. But at the end, when it's all done, I feel euphoric. I'm like, Yes, the work is done. You just feel like a glowing feeling inside.

Just always believe in yourself. Champions adjust. It's a line I learned from Billie Jean King, and sometimes your dream adjusts. Be willing to adjust with it and see where your opportunities ... sometimes a door closes but a window opens, so just follow your dreams and continue. You never know where it's going to take you.

I always like to win. But I'm the big sister. I want to make sure she has everything, even if I don't have anything. It's hard. I love her too much. That's what counts.

Tennis is mostly mental. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.

If I cared deeply about what people thought of me, I probably would have never made it out of Compton, California.

I love to be busy, and when I'm off the court, I do things I love.

Losses have propelled me to even bigger places, so I understand the importance of losing. You can never get complacent because a loss is always around the corner. It's in any game that you're in - a business game or whatever - you can't get complacent.

Tennis is a huge part of my life, but I don't base my self-value or my self-worth or the quality of my life on my results on the court.
