"A court is like a scene, people want to see attractive people."


"At this year's Open, I'll have five boyfriends."

"I am beautiful, famous and gorgeous."


"I don't know what better teenage life you could get than going around the world doing what you love to do."

"I have lost this battle but I will win the war."


"I think it's really important for me not to forget where I came from."


"I think that tennis is a lady's sport, so we should look out there like ladies."


"I was caught in the middle. They should have either let me go or not play at all. They just froze me in the middle and now I'm stuck."


"I worked very hard and I earned all the attention I'm getting."


"I'm like an expensive menu... you can look but you can't afford!"


"I've just done a commercial in the U.S. in which I talk about stocks, shares and bonds. Everyone is amazed. They ask me: 'You really know about that stuff or did you just learn it for the commercial?' I tell them I wouldn't do it unless I understood and had an interest."


"It's that I have a good personality and am a good tennis player."


"It's true I always try to be as seductive as possible but I wouldn't be here if I couldn't play tennis."


"Like any young person, I do what I want."


"My manager wants me to dress like a nun and I want to dress like a teenager."


"People don't get to see the unglamourous side."


"The courts are as a stage, people love to see attractive players."


"The world believes all blondes are stupid and brunettes are smarter. Well, I disagree."


"There are a lot of pretty girls. I am a tennis player first of all, that is why I am here, and if wasn't producing results no one would notice me."


"Well, I'm playing for the fans so whenever they come and ask for autographs I always try to give it to everybody because I'm out there for the people."
