"I've had people look down on me, put me down because I didn't look like them—because I didn't have the same skin color."

"I'm not going to give up. I'm going to keep fighting."

"I'm not afraid to be myself. I'm not afraid to speak my mind."

"Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come."

"I'm not going to stop until I reach my full potential."
