“You can be whatever size you are, and you can be beautiful both inside and out. We’re always told what’s beautiful and what’s not, and that’s not right.”

I was just tired of losing. Life was passing me by.

I’m thankful to my family, friends, and fans for all of their support.

No one likes getting their nails done more than I do.

I feel like I’m really young and I’m only thinking about my career and continuing playing.

I don’t like to lose-at anything… Yet I’ve grown most not from victories, but setbacks. If winning is God’s reward, then losing is how he teaches us.

I never thought about leaving a tennis legacy. I always thought about leaving a legacy of fulfillment, living out your dreams, and giving back.

I’m an athlete and I’m black, and a lot of black athletes go broke. I do not want to become a statistic, so maybe I overcompensate. But I’m paranoid. Oprah told me a long time ago, ‘You sign every check. Never let anyone sign any checks.’

My goal in a couple of years is to try to build a successful fashion house like Armani or Versace. I want that more than anything.

When you lose, you get up, you make it better, you TRY AGAIN.

My smile is my favorite part of my body. I think a smile can make your whole body.

Luck has nothing to do with it.

I’ve never felt invincible. I’ve never used that word to describe me ever.

I think my father is probably the best coach ever because, if we talk about numbers, he’s got a lot and he’s only had two players.

I’m not used to crying. It’s a little difficult. All my life I’ve had to fight. It’s just another fight I’m going to have to learn how to win, that’s all. I’m just going to have to keep smiling.

I always say that when I’m playing well, no one can beat me. I’m not just saying that to sound full of myself or anything, but it’s true.

With my website, I’m really interactive. I’ve written a lot of things about me.

My oh my, have you ever noticed how beautiful you look doing what you love?

Learn to use your brains as deftly as your powder box, and then, perhaps, powder box you will not need. Know smart women men say beautiful – eyes snatched from the crowd and do not forget just charming.

Hope rises and dreams flicker and die. Love plans for tomorrow and loneliness thinks of yesterday. Life is beautiful and living is pain.

When you are right, everything around you is right, for the beautiful flow that is inside your heart has the capacity to spread its fragrance of oneness-light all around you.

These are beautiful days. Folks ask what I’m doing. I tell them I’m doing family.

When the mind is calm, how quickly, how smoothly, how beautifully you will perceive everything.

She bathed with roses red, And violets blew. And all the sweetest flowers That in the forest grew.

Beware of any belief that makes you self-indulgent; it came from the pit, no matter how beautiful it sounds.
