Caroline Wozniacki

My parents paid me small amounts for cleaning my room or cleaning the dishes and stuff, but I never really had a real job before I started on my professional tennis career.

It's very expensive to be a professional tennis player with all the travel and the flights and the hotels and everything.

There are periods when you feel really good. You feel the ball is bigger. The court is larger. You feel like you can't miss. And then there are periods when you feel, 'OK, I'm not feeling great.' But I still need to try to find a way to win.

If you think negatively, it's hard to get out of tense moments.

You can't dwell in your past but move forward, look forward. That's it.

One day my dad would say, 'OK, if you want to play tennis I can help you out.' And that's how it started. And I had a goal. I wanted to beat my mom first. And my parents and my brother. And that was the ultimate goal.

I don't know, I always get the question 'how do you feel after the game today?' and, of course, if you're winning you feel great and if you lose you don't feel good. I think that's a pretty obvious question.

I really want to see New Zealand; it's a beautiful place.

I think America is a great place to grow up. It's a good lifestyle.

You need the right fuel for the body.

Even when my opponent hits a very good shot, I don't just want to get it back. I want to get it back so they have difficulty. And then I can control the point.

As long as I win I'm doing something right.
