To win Grand Slams you have to be in the right frame of mind, the right physical shape.

I know it's not the most important thing for me to win the most Grand Slams and be remembered in this world. I certainly don't have to win little tournaments here, there and everywhere, I don't have to win at all. Although I do want to.

Winning a Grand Slam changes everything. There is so much off-court stuff to deal with. And there are expectations of keeping it going that make it tough.

Winning a Grand Slam is not something I'll think about.

For so long people have just taken what I do for granted. It is not easy to do year-in, year-out, to win Grand Slams and be No. 1.

A final of a grand slam is always a matter of details. Maybe a point here, a point there will make the difference. Maybe someone who is a bit more gutsy than the other player, someone who is having a better day than the others.

It's always good to get a smaller tournament under your belt so that by the time you get to the Slams, you have a lot of experience.

I never expected to win a Grand Slam because, for me, I was not good enough to beat those guys.

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.

Tennis Australia really led the charge as far as upping the prize money and trying to do the right thing by the players. They also led the way so women have equal prize money in all the grand slams too.
