In an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Evert said that "there is a price to pay for almost everything in life." When pushed further, the American stated that her early success cost her the "freedom to develop the authentic me." "There is a price to pay for almost everything in life," said Evert."I think my fame at a young age, I really didn't get to have the freedom to develop the authentic me at a young age." The 18-time Grand Slam winner revealed that she never got a ticket because police would always let her go after discovering who she was. "I didn't go to college. I joined the tour right away. I think people that are always told 'you're the greatest' and patted on the back, people can't say no to them." she said." I don't think I've ever gotten a ticket because policemen have pulled me over many times and seen that I'm Chris Evert and said 'I'm such big fan of yours, I'm gonna let you go,'" she said. Evert accepted that she became "a little entitled" due to the many years of fame and success. "I think when that happens years and years and years, I think you become a little entitled and a little enabled and I'm the first to admit that." she added.
