I still love things that you don't even need to pay for. Going to the beach and being around five of your friends and having a good time means so much more than going out and spending hundreds of dollars.

When you are young, you are a little naive.

If I can create something that allows a woman to feel better - that is the true reward.

I'm focused on going out every day and doing my best.

When you travel so many weeks a year, it's always nice to have a home-cooked meal.

I never really had an idol.

I help design my own tennis clothes.

When I make a commitment I stick to it.

There's not many firsts in my career, as I have been a part of many tournaments and fortunate enough to win many.

I think it's so cool to be tall. Even when I'm not wearing heels people tell me I'm tall and I always take it as a complement. The good thing is I can always see everybody in the room.

I love street style, seeing how girls wear pieces and how their pair accessories with their outfit. How they pair shoes with a bag and go to day to night and change things up.

I have a very big sweet tooth and I love treating myself to something that I wouldn't necessarily eat during the tournament such as a nice-sized cake.

I don't get to do as much sightseeing as I would like to.

I don't do heavy weights at all.

I go to yoga classes and work on my core.

I love what I do and I love being an athlete, but I also love all the things that have come with it.

I'm never standing still and that makes my life pretty exciting.

My family and I built my whole career from scratch.

I hit a ball for a living, but I have that passion to keep learning.

I find a lot of inspiration in street style and watching women walk, the way they wear things and what they're wearing.

Tennis has given me this wonderful life and I'm very grateful for it.

Through my travels, I find inspiration in street style and how young women create their individual looks and identity.

I love to collect modern art.

Whether you win a match or lose a match, in terms of your emotions, it's important to be pretty levelheaded.

After being on the court for six hours, being on TV is very glamorous and fun for me. But tennis is always going to be my priority. It's not going to be this thing when all of a sudden TV will get in the way of that.

I'm always that annoying person that pulls out the camera in the middle of dinner and starts taking candids.

Of course, everyone knows my story of being born in Russia and moving to the United States at 7. For a few years people would say, 'Well, she's living in the United States, but she's Russian.'

When you've been touched by sadness and grief, it makes you vulnerable. And because I am vulnerable, I try to be positive. And when I say 'try,' I really do mean try, because it's an effort.

I can't stand small babies. I would rather give birth to a kitten or a colt... a little pony.

Sixties models knew nothing about skin care.

Surgery is not going to improve your skin - all it's going to do is make you look tighter, like Joan Rivers!

Cheating is never to do with how attractive you are.

I had a very spoilt childhood. Not that my family were incredibly wealthy, but we lived on the beautiful island of Hawaii where everything was lush and in abundance.

I'm not keen on the English way of eating outside, on the street. I want food that is clean, not impregnated with toxic fumes.

I don't see myself as the next Carmen Dell'Orefice. I'd rather be fat and happy, sitting on a beach in Hawaii eating pizza.

When I began modelling in my late teens, I started to earn a lot of money very, very quickly, but I'd never been shown how to manage it properly.

Most English people are horrified that I use soap, but I like it - it works for my skin. I try different soaps all the time, but I use very mild ones.

I don't have any children, but I can leave my land to an animal sanctuary. That is what I dream about, not bags, not shoes.

Monogamy is not something that's important to me. I don't think it defines love.

I am a vegetarian. I don't want to have anything injected into me that I can't eat. I am a real health nut. I look after myself well.

I'm good at many, many things, but the one thing I've never been good at is relationships.

As a girl, I lived in jeans, and my love-affair with them continues. Since I turned 50, jeans have become something of a uniform, whether it's a slouchy boyfriend fit for daytime or a leaner, fitted jean in a darker denim for evening.

I hate Botox, but a fabulous-looking friend of mine told me her secret was this gadget that uses electrical impulses to tone your facial muscles. It works!

I like living on my own. I'm happy for a man to come over. I'll cook for him; he can spend the night occasionally, but then I want him to leave. I'm too independent.

I'm slim for professional reasons, and I work at it. I really want to continue working. There aren't that many models who are still doing it at 60.

If you believe, as I do believe, in reincarnation, they say that every time you come back, it's because you have to finish something. I've a funny feeling that my thing in this life is to have one relationship after another.

I never get asked out by men my own age, as they all want to go out with 20-year-olds, and the men that do ask me out are too young.

I'm 56 - I don't want to look like I'm 20.

When you get older, your skin tone changes; your hair probably changes colour, whether you dye it or not, and you just can't wear the colours you used to like anymore.

I'm not bothered about clothes. Never have been.
