It doesn't matter that I didn't win a trophy because I did it my way and I lived the dream.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do not need a trophy to tell myself that I am the best.
I never wanted to be a trophy wife. I wanted to make it on my own. I didn't want to depend on a man.
I just can't see myself as a trophy wife. I can't imagine not having my own life.
What is the point of competing for a trophy if everyone gets a trophy?
Trophies and medals have never meant much to me. I've had amazing experiences, which let you feel like you've accomplished something.
Music is not a contest, it's not a competition, so giving out trophies seems a little bit like the sporting world I left behind when I was a kid.
I aim for the stars, and winning a world title will not be a fulfilment of a dream for me. It never has been.
When I won in 2003, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would win Wimbledon and have my kids seeing me lift the trophy, so this is pretty surreal. And yeah, I was almost shocked in the moment that it all came together so nicely.
When I finally held the trophy, it was just how I imagined it would be.
You have to win and especially, as I have, you have to win a trophy for the first time.
