“What kept me going through all the years? More than anything, the love of and respect for competition. That's what it comes down to for me. That's why I do this.”

“For years, I stored my sweaters in the oven.”

“I don't know if everybody is ready to hear a woman tell them so-and-so is going to run off left tackle. But you know what? They're going to hear it.”

“Unless a player goes in for intensive play and tournament competition, two racquets are sufficient.”

“Whole purpose of doing endurance sport is to understand your body better, it's not about timing, it's not about competition, it's about understanding your body, mind, potential.”

“Whenever the competition is sleeping is when I shine.”
