I don't enjoy being in Europe for weeks on end, so I just skip it.

I did not grow up with people, you know, pounding in my head, 'This is what you've got to do, this is what you're going to do.'

While I was always successful... I never thought I'd be one in the world.

I was never a prodigy.

I always tried to hide the fact that I was an athlete. I just wanted to be normal.

Tennis is more commercial these days.

I come from a family of working women, my mum went to work two weeks after I was born - my parents had no money, there was no choice.

In the history of women's tennis the great players have come back from long absences with no problems.

I've played too many tennis hours.

I'm not that interesting!
