I became a fitness fiend when I was about 17 or 18.

I don't drink anything other than water and herbal tea.

I'm a geek when it comes to my voice. I know if it hurts, something's wrong. You shouldn't feel it! It's very important to look after your voice.

On the tennis court, one needs a cool temperament, tremendous ball sense, reflexes, speed, hand-eye co-ordination, power, timing and peak physical fitness.

My fitness instructor helped me with strength training, muscle building, and toning.
