Forget about tennis, I was scared to open my mouth. I didnt even feel worthy of saying something and not sounding stupid.
It doesn't matter whether I qualify or wildcards.
To win Grand Slams you have to be in the right frame of mind, the right physical shape.
People want to hear what I have to say and respect what I say.
I feel life I've started a new chapter in my life, and I need to live the past behind.
I'm happy with what I've done but it's a challenge to try to win more.
I just want to get to the level where I can say that that's my level, just try to play well, get up there.
What I want out of tennis is not necessarily just winning.
It wasn't my tennis that made me lose, it was a lot of different things going on, high drama, high emotion.
I mean, I feel like just a new person completely.
Let me say that the path I did take for a brief period of my life was not of reckless drug use, hurting others, but it was a path of quiet rebellion, of a little experimentation of a darker side of my confusion in a confusing world, lost in the midst of finding my identity.
Now a lot has changed and I can separate a lot of things.
She [Serena Williams] played some great shots, but so did I, and that was the only difference.
I mean, obviously, a lot of people know me around the world. Kids know me.
