Dreams do come true if you keep believing in yourself. Anything is possible.

You have to block everything out and be extremely focused and be relaxed and mellow too.

Yes, I made mistakes by rebelling, by acting out in confused ways.

I was an emotional basket case.

I do still have some of the experience from playing, but it's been so long since I've been out in those quarters, semis, finals, the important final matches, just against the top players.

I had an instinct before and maybe now I don't have that instinct as much as knowing what to do, what shots to hit, where to place the ball, things like that.

It wasn't my tennis that made me lose, it was a lot of different things going on, high drama, high emotion.

Coming back after the layoff, I wasn't really sure what to expect.

It doesn't matter whether I qualify or wildcards.

People want to hear what I have to say and respect what I say.

Dave couldn't remember the last time a grownup had apologized to him.

I realized that the one person who could break my heart is the only one who should have it.

Friends should be judged by their acts, not their words.

In fact, once he is motivated no one can change more completely than the man who has been at the bottom. I call myself the best example of that.

Just because you make a good plan, doesn't mean that's what's gonna happen.

A lot of the time there is a lot of melancholy in the lyrics.
