It's me, and I love me. I learned to love me. I've been like this my whole life, and I embrace me. I love how I look. I love that I'm a full woman and I'm strong and I'm powerful and I'm beautiful at the same time. There's nothing wrong with that.
I always believe I can beat the best, achieve the best. I always see myself in the top position.
Think of all the girls who could become top athletes but quit sports because they're afraid of having too many defined muscles and being made fun of or called unattractive.
I don't like to lose-at anything... Yet I've grown most not from victories, but setbacks. If winning is God's reward, then losing is how he teaches us.
Everyone's dream can come true if you just stick to it and work hard.
You just have to prove to yourself that you can go out there and be the best that you can be and not prove anything to anyone.
Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.
I am lucky that whatever fear I have inside me, my desire to win is always stronger.
With a defeat, when you lose, you get up, you make it better, you try again. That's what I do in life, when I get down, when I get sick, I don't want to just stop. I keep going and I try to do more. Everyone always says never give up but you really have to take that to heart and really do never definitely give up. Keep trying.
The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise each other up. Make sure you're very courageous: be strong, be extremely kind, and above all be humble.
I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall
I definitely have found a balance, ... I've had so many offers in the past to do different movies or different thing and I always choose tournaments over it.
I definitely feel like this is as good as I've felt in a while. I'm hitting better than I have in two years,
I definitely feel I have the game to be number one and I would not strive for anything less or let it enter my mind.
