I don't know what it is to feel very British, but I feel that it's home, so I'm very happy to represent Great Britain.
I guess I have a reasonable physique for the sport I do.
I think I'm a good athlete.
I was training in Spain for 15 months, and while I was there, my parents didn't want to be halfway around the world away from their 14-year-old daughter. So they migrated to the U.K. because they had Hungarian passports, and that's in the E.U., so they could work there.
Australia is my birth home, so it will always be a home of some sort. But I'm very happy, very pleased to be representing Great Britain. That is my home, and that is where my heart is. That is where I grew up, essentially. So when people ask me where I'm from, where is home, that's where it is.
Number one consideration is always availability. Then it's about - for me and, I guess, for every player - the connection with the coach, like with any relationship: how you work together, the chemistry on court.
Tennis is a small world.
For me, it's just staying in the present, enjoying what I'm doing, and making sure I'm making the kind of improvements and moves forward that I want to.
I strive to get better and better in understanding how the world works.
Everyone gets motivated or inspired by different things.
I don't look for a fight or look for animosity or tension where it's not needed.
I had to experience many situations and emotions to develop, and I'm still striving to become the kind of competitor I want to be.
No player can step on court against me and feel confident that they will come out the winner.
We made the U.K. our home, and I'm lucky enough that I get to call myself British and have such great support at home.
Not many people can say, 'I was top 150 in the world for something,' in any discipline.
I needed to go through certain life experiences, and not just on the court, to make me into the competitor that I am, and also the person.
My experience on clay is less than possibly on hard and grass courts, but in terms of my game style and my physical abilities, I think there's no reason why I can't adapt well to the surface and really try to maximize what I can do well on clay.
There's a great group of people around me, and I think it's the way they all work together with me which makes me a very lucky girl.
I don't think circumstances change who you are as a person. I don't believe they change your values - unless you willingly would like them to.
I try to stay very true to the kind of person that I want to be and the kind of athlete and the kind of professional I continually strive to be.
