Trying your best is bringing your best... that's the way to do it! Desire and passion is everything.
You have to go through rough patches to achieve great things
I feel like when the task is more difficult for me it's more exciting.
That intensity, that feeling of the battle, heat of the moment: personally, that's what I live for.
I'm my own toughest opponent. So I talk to myself. I curse at myself. I pump myself up. Whatever it takes to do. I don't really give a damn how it looks really because when I'm in the moment I need to be me.
I kind of put myself in this mindset where time doesn't really exist that much. There is no past or future. I just try to stay really in the present.
Awkward gestures, clumsy gestures, fist pumps. I just do whatever I feel like is right in the moment. If I need to be hyped, I'm hyped. If I need to talk to myself, I talk to myself. Whatever it takes to win, I'm going to do it.
I always take things step by step and match by match.
I just want to have fun.
Nobody will tell me what I can or I cannot do.
There are so many steps you have to go through to reach a high level, so youre kind of building your own, I would say, mountain. You have to go piece by piece by piece. When youre young and really ambitious, you want to jump right up. It kind of teaches you a lesson, I would say.
Things are never perfect, so I never get too high about things, or get too down about things anymore.
I have learned how to better handle things as they come.
Seeing Messi play is like watching a video game.
I wouldn't say I let myself down, just sometimes it doesn't go your way.
I like to go shopping, to the movies, all the girl stuff. Just a normal girl.
My grandmother is the person who inspires me the most.
I'll never be like a Barbie girl, that's for sure.
Everybody has something to lose. You have points to lose. You have money to lose. You have opportunity to lose.
I hope I was a good example of women's tennis.
I don't really care how I sound.
I'm not a big fan of watching my matches.
I love New York. It's one of my favorite cities.
You cannot be in pretend for people to like you.
That's what I love about kids. They don't care about anything else but who you are as a person.
