"Times changed a lot, off court and on court." — Petra Kvitova

Living out of a bag, in hotels, packing, unpacking, travelling, the hours of flying, sometimes the credit card doesn't work at the hotel, or the room isn't ready - I'm lucky to have a team around to help me.

It wasn't very easy getting used to being famous. Everybody stared at me in the supermarket and on the street. I think my life changed, for sure.

My dream is to have a medal from the Olympic Games, and I will do my best to have it.

I don't do any exercises when flying but use compression socks and spend as much time as possible lying down. I try not to eat much - I'm not a fan of airplane food; everything is just so weird.

There's things in the life that should be more important than just tennis.

One thing I always do is listen to my iPod. I listen to whatever is kind of new on the radio, I am always downloading stuff.

Like every normal working person, you get tired and need time out.

I got my calmness from my mum.
