Growing up, I'd just be at home, playing tennis, spending my allowance on an ice-cream truck.

Tennis has been around for so long - women have been playing the majors since the 1800s. Other sports have not had professional leagues for women for as long.

Tennis is definitely a star for women in sports.

Women's tennis has been around for a very long time - we're talking about the 1800s. But women's soccer hasn't had such a long history, so now they're right at the beginning of really trying to make things equal. We need to continue not only to advocate for women but to have men advocating for women.

Now, there is no business like show business, and there is no publicity like word of mouth. What is word of mouth, you may ask? Well, word of mouth is gold to Hollywood bigwigs, and it equates to box office bonanzas and hit TV shows.

For one thing, there is no guarantee that I am even going to work again. I hope I will and will go on to have a long career.

Ultimately, I think what I want from my career is to be able to create work for myself, and there's only so much you can do as an actor in a movie.

It's important to drive your own ship, and it's your career, so you might as well take it by the reins.
