If I have children, after school they'll always feel happy energy in the home.
I've played in a lot of big matches and you learn from them.
I always had a powerful serve. It's one of the best in women's tennis. It's very good to have a weapon like that.
Tennis is best of three sets, so even if I lose the first set, I still have a chance.
In badminton, they use a lot from the wrist. But I use a lot from the shoulder.
I don't know how many years I can still play. I have to listen to my body and see how it feels.
The first time I showed the tattoo it was big news in the newspaper. 'She has a tattoo with a snake.' It's not a snake!
People in China say: 'If you love your children, send them to New York. If you hate your children, also send them to New York.
I really do not think about 'Oh, right now I have to defend those points and this title.' I just really want to enjoy playing on the court, in front of the fans.
What I've accomplished for myself is beyond my wildest dreams. What I accomplished for my country is one of my most proud achievements.
Writing is like a mental masturbation to me.
I just feel exciting.
I just keep fighting and try to be the last one standing.
I just follow my heart.
