It gives me goose bumps and little butterflies in the stomach when I start thinking about the 'golden slam.'
Mostly the problems when I was down were caused by myself. There were times when I was not responsible enough or decisive enough.
I always try to have something that keeps my mind relaxed, keeps my mind a little bit off tennis.
The only one I feel pressure from is myself to go and give my all for every match and, obviously, I'm a competitor.
I just go out there and fight for every point, and then we see how far I can go.
One of the things I would have loved to have had was a family that worked better together, although I love my mother and father to bits.
That's the awesome part. Little girls now have a chance to look up and see women playing soccer, basketball, softball and now hockey - and know they can win a gold medal, too.
You always see people coming back to the sport, and I've always thought, 'Gosh, when you're done playing, wouldn't you just want to stay at home?'
I obviously want to win a grand slam, but whatever I do, however long I play, I hope I sustain a really long career, a healthy one, just a pretty consistent career. I obviously want to win a grand slam.
The history of our country is cruel. We have to face those issues or, should I say, we had to. Not anymore I hope, because we are going in the right direction, and we are ready to forgive, ready to move on.
If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.
A very Faustian choice is upon us: whether to accept our corrosive and risky behavior as the unavoidable price of population and economic growth, or to take stock of ourselves and search for a new environmental ethic.
I love hiking in the mountains in Aspen. Breathing the clean, fresh air is great. Plus, it gives me a cardiovascular workout and firms my legs.
I will remember this day for the rest of my life. There is nothing you can say. It's just like you won the match after the earthquake and it just feels great.
We should reach out to people to try to go after the fans the way other sports do. Because we can't just depend on the fact that it is a great game.
The good part of having six kids is, there's always one who wants to hug you and say, 'Daddy, I love you.'
There is no life for girls in team sports past Little League. I got into tennis when I realized this, and because I thought golf would be too slow for me, and I was too scared to swim.
There is so many things to do in life rather than playing tennis, so I'm sure I will find something. I just need a bit of time to kind of settle down.
You cannot compare your athletic achievement to the importance of children and giving them a safe environment in which to grow up and enjoy life.
It's just nice to see people enthusiastic about their tennis and want to learn and improve - for me that's the most important thing - I still love my tennis.
If I win seven tournaments in a row, I get so confident I'm in a cloud. A loss gets me eager again.
