“A lot of times, I don't just do juice; I do the whole thing blended to keep the fiber.”

“I have been recently diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome, an autoimmune disease which is an ongoing medical condition that affects my energy level and causes fatigue and joint pain.”

“I'm always in search for perfection. If it's not perfect, I'm back to the drawing board.”

“'Oh and Oh' is a tennis term... It's a nice way of saying you took your opponent to pieces.”

“I always show up to the office sweaty! I'll come in between workouts in a tennis skirt drenched in sweat. The only time that I actually look presentable is at meetings.”

“I think I've been fortunate to be at the top of the game and in the media for years, and a lot of times, people want to be your friend when you're on the top. You know, there have been times when I've been injured and I never got a phone call. So that's the way it is.”

“You win with your feet. It looks easy, and it's not.”

“I eat lots of vegetables and green juices.”

“I don't think anyone wants to look in the mirror and say, 'I'm anti-woman.' They don't see themselves that way, and you can't treat them that way. But you have to tell the truth.”

“As long as we set up equality, we'll go in the right direction.”

“Everyone is always working on their body and trying to make it the best that they possibly can. That's what I do every single day, mostly for performance, but also just for me.”

“I love seeing people be successful! I love that. It's wonderful. There's enough room for everybody.”

“I love the food in Thailand because of the exotic spices they use. Their style of cooking is unique to their culture and always amazing.”

“I'm this overachiever type, I'll just work and work and I'll just do it over and over and over again.”

“Losing is no fun no matter who you lose to.”

“I wear a lot of tight dresses, so I'm like, 'I need to do my sit-ups!'”

“I just try to stay positive and focused on the tennis, not let anything get to me, like crazy questions. But I'm tough, let me tell you, tough as nails.”

“Sometimes women who are taller aren't comfortable with it, but I love being tall.”

“Sjogren's is something you live with your whole life. The good news for me is now I know what's happening after spending years not knowing... I feel like I can get better and move on.”

“One thing I've done is surround myself with people who are as good as me or better.”
