You have to let fear go. Another lesson is you just have to believe in yourself; you just have to. There's no way around it. No matter how things are stacked against you, you just have to every time.

I always show up to the office sweaty! I'll come in between workouts in a tennis skirt drenched in sweat. The only time that I actually look presentable is at meetings.

I don't have time for easy. Tennis is just hard.

A lot of times, I don't just do juice; I do the whole thing blended to keep the fiber.

The first time you win, nobody picks you; the last time you win, nobody picks you. You've just got to pick yourself.

You've got to live in the moment. When it's over, it's over.

I don't have time to be negative.

Ruth's Chris is my favorite restaurant, and I always order the rib eye, medium-rare.

My dresses are designed to win, so going through it, I think about, what do I want to represent? So, definitely, Vera Wang has been an inspiration for me.

I have always said that after sport, I wanted a life, I wanted an opportunity, I wanted to be able to do something. And if something happens - the economy falls out or the dollar is worthless, anything could happen - you have to be ready to work. And I'm ready.

Athletes, like everyone else, at times take supplements but just have to consult your doctors and work on that. It's a process, but it's achievable... It's my job to be healthy.

I want to know that I gave my 100 percent, and even if it doesn't work, you know that you gave everything, and you don't have to look at it and say... I could have gave more - that would break my heart.
