Tennis has given me soul.
From Martina Navratilova
Sport doesn't know barriers, really. You are judged on your performance... how far you can jump, how fast you can run, how well you can hit a tennis ball.
I just try to concentrate on concentrating.
You can't live in the past, there's nothing you can do about it.
If I feel strongly, I say it. I know I can do more good by being vocal than by staying quiet. I'd have a whole lot more money if I lied, but I wouldn't enjoy spending it.
My worst memory is of my first dance lesson as a 14-year old in Prague. My mother put me in this silver and pink lame dress. My hair was all curled, and it was the first time I wore a garter belt. I felt so out of place!
Just go out there and do what you have to do.
The moment of victory is much too short to live for that and nothing else.
People in the States used to think that if girls were good at sports their sexuality would be affected.
Just by being out you're doing your part. It's like recycling. You're doing your part for the environment if you recycle; you're doing your part for the gay movement if you're out.
