I appreciate very much being injury-free.

I knew that maybe I couldn't be playing again, but I just wanted to get in physical shape.

The tennis wasn't really very much on my mind, so it wasn't like I was thinking about it all the time.

I think it takes people to get to know you and the recognition comes over time.

It shifted attention away from that and I've never been someone who liked the attention from the media anyway.

I appreciate very much being injury-free.

It's so difficult to find time besides the tennis.

I never look back, I look forward.

I had a lot of different thoughts and ideas and always to transform, but I'm trying certain things that I feel my heart is really going for and that was one of the things that I initiated a few months ago.

I still take it seriously, but once I go out there I think I've got more relaxed and I think it shows.

Age, what is it? It's not a figure that has ever meant anything to me.

Grass is a surface I have always loved, Wimbledon is a tournament I have always loved.

I am a person who sticks to her word.

I don't like the word 'businesswoman.' Perhaps 'committed mother' would be the best description.

I don't wake up every day and think about which tournaments I won and which titles I hold. It's something I don't care about.

I have always been guided by striving to show the best that I could. That is what kept me going in tennis and it is the same now.

I never hanker after the past - I prefer to devote myself to new tasks.

I suppose it's amazing how quick life goes by when you have children.

I've thrown away lots of my old diaries - you never know who might get their hands on them. But I have kept a few notes on the good old days.

If you go to a big city anywhere in the world and you need a doctor, just ask me. I can tell you who's good and who's bad. I've even considered writing a guidebook.

My big dream was to work as a photographer for 'National Geographic.'

When you lose a couple of times, it makes you realize how difficult it is to win.

You can have a certain arrogance, and I think that's fine, but what you should never lose is the respect for the others.

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.

When you lose a couple of times it makes you realize how difficult it is to win.

I don't ever look back. I look forward.

I can remember the frustration of not being able to talk. I knew what I wanted to say, but I could not get the words out, so I would just scream.

What I try to do for my readers is to pass on some of the things that I found out about being thirteen after doing it for forty years.

In this watering-place I acted an heroic character, badly studied; and being a novice on such a stage, I forgot my part before a pair of lovely blue eyes.

Young people discovering their sexuality must know they walk with a strong tradition and that they are not alone. They have a right to information without being pressured.

Being a publicist is like management in a lot of ways - you're their friend, you're their mother, you're their confidante.

I mean, all alternative comedy is are comedians that have being doing it for so long, for so long, that they were relaxed enough to start becoming personal on stage.

I became hooked on the idea of being able to shoot an image and process it myself, and end up with a product.

Being a cover artist is not like being a real artist. That's just copying what someone else did.

It is too maddening. I've got to fly off, right now, to some devilish navy yard, three hours in a seasick steamer, and after being heartily sick, I'll have to speak three times, and then I'll be sick coming home. Still, who would not be sick for England?

I don't like being recognised, I have no interest in being famous at all, I just do what I do. If I could be like Captain Kirk and beam myself up and then beam myself down, I would!

I'm glad I'm not Brezhnev. Being the Russian leader in the Kremlin. You never know if someone's tape recording what you say.

Being a musician is what I do, but it's not what I am.

We're all like children. We may think we grow up, but to me, being grown up is death, stopping thinking, trying to find out things, going on learning.

We've had it very clear to the Bosnians that our obligation to equip and train their forces is completely conditional on the foreign forces being gone.

My parents were amazing people who had no business being together - and they knew it.

Teachers started recognizing me and praising me for being smart in science and that made me want to be even smarter in science!

Sure, I get the blues. But what I try to do, is apply joy to the blues, you know? I don't know if it's a technique, or just being bent that way, being raised by the folks I was raised by.

Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.

The judge turned his back towards me, sitting back on his judge's chair, while I was in the witness stand being questioned. The whole courtroom was full of these anarchists, leftists, communists and Jewish lobbyists.

For me, being in front of the camera and training go hand in hand.

I define success as being comfortable with yourself and your life. And that is about as good as it gets, really.

Being injured is something that happens in this sport. Anybody who gets into it understands that.

PR is extremely important, and being able to use it in the right way means everything. You have to market your success.
