It's nice to be remembered.

The most exciting match I ever played was the 1974 US Open final against Billie Jean King.

I can think of matches I played where I played one or two points perfectly, and that gave me a thrill.

My greatest high was to hit a ball well, to try to do it perfectly, to try different things, whether they came off or not.

Concentration may be my weak point.

I never think I'm going to lose.

Once in a while I'll drink a rum-and-Coke but that's all, and only once in a while.

I know, everybody thinks that all Aussies love beer. I guess most of them do, but not me.

I play better if the matches are tight.

I can't explain why I play belter when I am down. It's the challenge I suppose.

I think It would be quite fun to play Bobby Riggs.

I can't wear the same outfit twice without washing it. And tennis is a grueling occupation.

I'm just tired of having to say 'cheese' all the time for the press.

Usually I have to leave parties early - just when the action is beginning.

A man could and would wipe me off the court. I really feel that the male is naturally superior to the female in all endeavors.

I'll get married when I'm sick of tennis.

Losing isn't bitter because it's temporary.

I think how I'm playing, not who I'm playing.

I first started out by hitting a ball against a wall when I was four.

I don't know whether I'm half, quarter or what. I just know I'm aboriginal.

When I walk out on to the court and everyone is staring, sometimes I wonder how my legs will carry me out there. That's forgotten as soon as I start playing.

I like to be nervous, as I push myself harder.

I know how to get around London better than Sydney.

I love the atmosphere of shopping in London. Sometimes I just go into a boutique, not to buy but to listen to the music.
