For me the most important thing has always been tennis, and that's what I want to get across the image I want to portray is a hard-working tennis player.

I don't play any tournaments to come second best.

It's not the end of the world to lose.

In tennis, it is not the opponent you fear, it is the failure itself, knowing how near you were but just out of reach.

I used to think that losing made you more hungry and determined but after my success at the Olympics and the U.S. Open I realise that winning is the biggest motivation.

You have to go into each match believing you can beat all of the players.

Give it everything you've got. Leave nothing out there.

Where resources are plentiful (i.e. no constraints), you will find very little creativity. Where resources are scarce (i.e. many constraints), you will find an abundance of creativity.

I'll be supporting anyone but England.

I think most players would love, at one stage in their career, to say, 'I've been No. 1 in the world.

A believer may pass through much affliction, and yet secure very little blessing from it all. Abiding in Christ is the secret of securing all that the Father meant the chastisement to bring us.

Warriors respect each other. They give dignity to each other either in a win or in a defeat.

A special effect is a tool, a means of telling a story. A special effect without a story is a pretty boring thing.

Of all fatiguing, futile, empty trades, the worst, I suppose, is writing about writing.

When you invest in people and lift them toward their potential, they will love you for it.

Revolutions require work, revolutions require sacrifice, revolutions, and our own included, require a certain amount of rationing, a certain amount of calluses, a certain amount of sacrifice

As a Republican, I never expected to be working with Hillary Clinton.

I was lucky enough that my parents knew about World Cup skiing, so since I was really little, we were watching World Cup winning runs.

If we want the nation to move ahead, then we'll have to leave behind the thinking that Government will do everything...we all need to collectively devote to make our country move forward.

Works without faith are like a fish without water, it wants the element it should live in. A building without a basis cannot stand; faith is the foundation, and every good action is as a stone laid.

Look, if I'd wanted a lecture on the rights of man, I'd have gone to bed with Martin Luther.
