The main thing is just really to play my game… and while you are playing the match, as it goes along, you kind of figure things out. – Mary Pierce
I’m a different person off the court than I am on the court, where I’m very competitive, a perfectionist, and I can be hard on myself sometimes. Off the court, nothing really bothers me. I’m easy-going. – Mary Pierce
My life off the court has changed. I’m feeling good inside, so I guess it shows on the outside too. – Mary Pierce
Winning a Grand Slam changes everything. There is so much off-court stuff to deal with. And there are expectations of keeping it going that make it tough. – Mary Pierce
Its super to play with Martina, and she has huge amounts of talent. We have a lot of fun. – Mary Pierce
It’s been interesting. I went through a period where a lot of people would recognize me, and then when I had injures and my ranking dropped, not as many people did. – Mary Pierce
I’m healthy now. I probably wouldn’t say I’m at my best fitness level and I haven’t played that much lately, but I’m healthy and that’s all that matters. – Mary Pierce
If all goes well and my body reacts well, and I feel I have a good high level to compete amongst the best then I’ll come back and play. – Mary Pierce
Sometimes things aren’t clear right away. That’s where you need to be patient and persevere and see where things lead. – Mary Pierce
After I lost the first set, I was like, ‘OK, I need to get help because I can’t play this way.’ – Mary Pierce
I haven’t accomplished everything that I want to yet in my career, that’s why I’m still playing. I just know that I still have something left inside of me to accomplish, and I don’t know exactly what that is. Hopefully, I’ll know one day soon. – Mary Pierce
If someone asks me a question, that says they appreciate what I do and that’s nice. And I know what it was like when I was a kid to want to interact with a top player. – Mary Pierce
