"I've had people look down on me, put me down because I didn't look like them—because I didn't have the same skin color."

"I've never been a person that has been like, 'I want to be a different color' or 'I want my skin to be lighter.' I like who I am, I love how I look."

"Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come."

"I don't think I'm a diva. I think I'm just a woman who knows what she wants."

"I just want to be happy. That's all I want."
