I was very, very shy as a younger girl, just petrified of people. Tennis helped give me an identity and made me feel like somebody.
I have lots of friends and, like me, they're not married. So my kids have lots of godparents - men and women, gay and straight. My loft is always filled with people helping me out with them and loving them.
I don't take a great deal of interest in party politics. Social politics interests me a great deal more.
