The older you get, the more you learn.

The first point is always to believe in it when you go on court and then you have the chances to win.

I grew up on the tennis court with lots of other kids. There were like 40 kids all afternoon and I was one of the youngest ones, so I always had to chase everybody to keep up.

I'm not saying I'm something special. I might play a little better tennis than other people, but it is because I was given the chance, and not many people are.

Right now I like baseball, hockey and tennis players. And horseback riders.

Honestly, I'm more into the computer, the Internet, and checking out scores or the news.

The game overall has gotten so much better, stronger, more physical parts to the game.

Sometimes I wouldn't give an interview because I didn't have the time or something else was more important. So they come up with a story which I don't think is always true, but they have to sell papers.

I don't think it's a low point being in the finals of the French Open, three points away from the victory.

I didn't have the same fitness or ability as the other girls, so I had to beat them with my mind.

I was always at peace because of the way my mom treated me.

I'm glad you're doing this story on us and not on the WNBA. We're so much prettier than all the other women in sports.

The older you get, the more you learn.

Now that I beat Lindsay I feel much better.

Any tournament you go to, you want to win it.

I still speak Czech with my parents because I was born there.

No, because I think I have a reason to believe in myself and I think I'm also pretty confident about who I am and what I'm doing and it might be because I'm still at the top too.

I have good anticipation, and good reaction to the the ball because I've played so many matches in my life.

The top players talk more now, and we have more meetings. We're just trying to get things better. But we still need somebody who could make a difference.

He is still my father. He is still a person I know I could trust and he would never do anything against me. Once you're at the top, there are not many people like that. People always want something from you.

When I was 4 my mother got divorced and we were very close to each other. I always wanted to be with her. She took me everywhere. When she went for dinner with friends or when they had meetings at the tennis club, I was always there.

That's one of the reasons I moved to Florida. Of course, the main reason is the weather and the training. But there's more jealousy in Switzerland because it's so little and they don't have so many athletes.

I always give Lindsay so much credit for her tennis game, for her attitude, for her person, and because of how she deals with all the things. I don't think people give her enough credit for how well she's doing.

Well, maybe at home I don't have the best image.

We had a poster of the Davis Cup in 1986. It was in Prague, the Czech Republic against Sweden, and we went to watch, so I got the poster. You couldn't get all the posters. You were lucky if you got one.

I've lived for 10 years in Switzerland, so I speak German.

Sometimes you want to make your own experiences.

I think the whole boycott thing was a bit too much. It's because we're accomplished so much in women's tennis in the last two, three years. We deserve something better.

I am interested in seeing how a certain situation can develop with potential accidents. First, I am inspired by the acts of potential collaborators. It tends to be an action they have already done in a different context. I am very clear about the rules of the game, but once it's launched, I don't intervene at all.

In my situation, unlike some players who retire because they have no choice - either teams don't want them or injuries have caused them to retire, and they just can't do it - for me, I really had never thought I would give out mentally before I gave out physically, but I think that was the case.

I cannot conceive of music that expresses absolutely nothing.

The first virtue in a soldier is endurance of fatigue; courage is only the second virtue.

One day, when I was still living at home, a friend told 'Texas' Jean Valli about me. She was originally from Syracuse, N.Y., and lived in New Jersey but sang country. One night, she had me come up on stage where she was performing. I sang 'My Mother's Eyes,' and she was knocked out.

Me in high school, I was kind of a loner. I had a handful of friends. I'd eat my lunch in my car every day in my senior year. I went to ballet. I was a ballerina, so I was very focused on that. You kind of have to be. That was two-thirds of my week, going to ballet class.

Desire is proof of the availability...

I love America, it's a much more permissive place.

I was always a fan of the old-style comics. I loved vaudeville. I loved Milton Berle, Dick Shawn, Phyllis Diller, Don Rickles, Charlie Callas, all those guys. Hilarious. I love the Bing Crosby and Bob Hope movies, and Abbott & Costello. My television influences were 'Monty Python's Flying Circus,' 'Benny Hill,' and 'Hee Haw.'

The most important thing to remember is this: To be ready at any moment to give up what you are for what you might become.

I'm very conscious of the fact that when I'm working, my daughter is not with one of her parents.

Well, I think the reality is that as you study - when President Kennedy cut marginal tax rates, when Ronald Reagan cut marginal tax rates, when President Bush imposed those tax cuts, they actually generated economic growth. They expanded the economy. They expand tax revenues.

I go to the dentist every six months, I get a cleaning, so... I'm fortunate enough that those fluoride treatments as a child worked. Not getting any cavities.

If you're going to be part of a nationally televised show that airs live and do sketches that haven't even been brainstormed a week earlier, you really can't be afraid to fail.

Drawing is giving a performance an artist is an actor who is not limited by the body only by his ability and perhaps experience.

Just coming from a musical family, I was always surrounded by it. On the car rides to school, my mom loved playing A Tribe Called Quest and the Beatles' 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band,' and then my dad was listening to a lot of Bill Withers and Stevie Wonder.

Boys never liked me at school. They made fun of me 'cos I had dark skin.

The best investment is in the tools of one's own trade.

They who give have all things they who withhold have nothing.

Ultimately the bond of all companionship whether in marriage or in friendship is conversation.

The reason so many individuals fail to achieve their goals in life is that they never really set them in the first place.
