I've always been a very easy-going person.
I even remember the first contract I ever signed. I was 13 or 14... my dad said, 'It's your choice. It's your life.'
It would be difficult to pick out one shot as my main strength, as I like all my shots, and I can do anything on any surface.
I believe in my abilities, as when I get things right, things happen for me.
I really believe that I can be the No 1, but for that to happen, I probably need to win a couple of grand slams, and they are not going to fall from the sky.
Let's forget the cliche on girlfriends, from Serena to Sharapova. I say it's easy to get lost in beauty, but is it a mistake then?
The negative talk, everything that has been coming my way, I don't care about it.
Obviously, it's tough when you lose a match, but that's how it goes.
I would love to have a beautiful family one day, to win Slams. I'd love my kids to see me play before I retire.
We all know how to play tennis. We all know how to hit the ball. It's more just about those details - managing all those early rounds and just managing yourself to make sure you're ready for whatever is coming up next.
Once the opportunities knock on your door, you've got to try and go get them. If it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen. But at the same time, you've got to keep going.
I know tennis is just a game, but it's something that it can actually unite us even more.
I believe that if you feel good and if you look good when you're playing, it can give you the extra edge that you might need.
If you look good, it brings confidence.
For me, I like that, how do you say, bohemian sort of look. Baggy sweaters to really fitted pants - I love Rick Owens's stuff, for example. I am really into that kind of grungy style.
I think tennis was just in my genes.
My father loved the single-handed backhand, so to him, that was the main goal; we were always fascinated by that shot. He taught me all the technique and how to structure my game. I was really privileged to have a father like that.
In the beginning, I thought the Federer comparisons were cool, but after a while, I wasn't happy with it. It's not the best thing you can hear as you're trying to develop, as it puts extra pressure on a young kid.
Tennis is my dream. It is what I love. And it is what I want to be best at.
Trust me: it's no fun where we're on the fourth set, or you've got to serve second serve on a break point down.
