I don't get that much of a chance to cook at home, but when I do, I really enjoy it.
I don't like my ego stroked too much.
Some people just look at opportunities and say, 'Maybe something better might come along; let's wait and see.' But you don't wait. You just grab it and go after it.
I think I've always been very good at taking advantage of the opportunities that have been given to me, because I didn't have many. Once I got one, I grabbed it with two hands.
I want to have my son be proud of me. I want to give him a good example that if you have a goal, and you have a dream, you can achieve it if you work hard.
Somebody asked me at one stage, 'Are you depressed?' And I said, 'Are you kidding me? I'm not depressed.' But you know what? I was. I was, but I just didn't realize it, because all these things happen, and you just don't know how to deal with emotions.
When I see these kids 6 years old with a private coach, and at 7, they have a fitness coach, I'm like, 'Aw, come on.' At 12, it's for sure they will lose all the interest in tennis because they do not interact with other kids.
Deep down inside, I know I'm a very good person.
I'm a sensitive person. I have a kind heart, you know, but I'm a fighter on the court and a competitor in life, so just to understand that and accept that can sometimes be really difficult.
I want to maximize my potential. And when I talk about that, don't get me wrong - I'm not talking about just making money.
I just want to be able to show who I really am, what I can do, bring awareness, create something because I want to take tennis, women's tennis, into an even more exciting path because I believe we have a lot more things to offer.
Sports is a huge entertainment now, and we need to provide that entertainment for the fans because that's what they're looking for.
I had to battle the doubts and fears for a while, but I committed to making sure that my strongest emotion was self-belief. Once I did that, I knew I would be OK.
Compared to my physique before pregnancy, yes, I do feel different. I have worked really hard and changed a few things - not only my fitness regime but also my nutrition. When I think about it, being pregnant definitely helped my physique.
It's true that being in an individual sport, you have to be a little bit selfish.
I have to feel OK with taking some time for myself, not feeling guilty that I don't spend my every free second with my son, which is sometimes tough.
I always wanted to be an actress. I think that is something that I could be pretty good at.
I have nothing to prove to anybody.
I want to be my son's superhero.
I'm such a perfectionist. I want to do better and better.
