I always feel as if I'm a disappointment: that people want a grand dame in furs like Barbara Taylor Bradford.
Venus hasn't been to the semis for a couple of years in a Grand Slam - she's been coming back from injury.
I'm the sort of person who takes a camera to dinner or a nightclub because I enjoy taking pictures of people. I tweet all my pictures, which is bad.
There's a big difference between being privileged and being spoilt. My parents always said, 'Spoilt means ruined, and you're not ruined, just incredibly fortunate.'
My entire high school career - my entire school career - I've been like three feet taller than everyone in my grade.
You learn to control every aspect of your muscles, your face, your toes, your fingernails. And that is how you tell a story, through movement.
I'd go on the train to castings, changing from my school uniform on the train. I carried on like that for a few years, getting jobs in bits and pieces.
I was a scapegoat. The media had to put responsibility on somebody, and I was chosen. They felt free to say that because someone was thin they were anorexic, which is ridiculous.
I was really nervous, intimidated by the whole thing-all the people and all the buzzing, and all the sitting around waiting. I felt really small in this huge place.
I had tried to get focused on other things. But I always ended up back in the same place, and it wasn't making me happy. I needed to get the focus back.
Fluctuating ultimate extreme levels of a moment of time is the fabric of the universe, and we are nothing- only single moment in the grand ocean of time.
We're going to need a definitive quantum theory of gravity, which is part of a grand unified theory - it's the main missing piece.
I've never really been the type to dress up like the other girls do. I'm more of a casual, relaxed kind of girl. More athletic.
I think most people realize that Barbara and Jenna are college kids, and to make such a big deal out of it is a bit ridiculous. At least now, the press has stopped.
When people ask how have I kept on top, I have to say with the help of every photographer, make-up artist and hairdresser I've ever worked with.
I think because I was the first Chinese player to win a grand slam, people were thinking: 'She's not like normal people.'
Weirdly, my nickname was Lady. I didn't get Stretch, or Stilts, or Spider Legs - I got Lady. I guess I was always a bit ladylike.
I'm not an easy customer. My attention to detail could probably drive you mad. My eye still always goes toward the single flaw.
I was worried that in London I would be judged for who I know rather than what I do. In New York, I am known for fashion.
For me it's all about keeping things simple and feeling comfortable in what I am wearing. I prefer investing in classic well-tailored pieces.
My major league debut came at old Busch Stadium on Grand Avenue in St. Louis against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
