Professionally, I remember Cronkite as a kid growing up, and more so for me, the importance of Cronkite was not him sitting there at the anchor desk, but him out there doing things.

My mother worked in factories, worked as a domestic, worked in a restaurant, always had a second job.

I knew that God put me on this earth to be on the radio.

I made the decision to come back to New York, quit my job and move to Paris.

Team sports, there's always some kind of sacrifice happening... A team, if we lose, if Michael Jordan has a bad night, you hang it on him a little bit... but if you lose as a tennis player, you have no one to blame but yourself, and that's a different beast.

I didn't like it as a player when I felt a coach was fudging the reasons for leaving me out. As a player, I wanted to know where I was lacking in my game and where I could improve in order to get back in the team.

My whole career has been trying to please people in basketball. Now it's time to please myself.

Fitness is the most important aspect in this sport. You've got to feel good.
