I'm an outside chance at Roland Garros but my focus is really on Wimbledon where it is realistically between me and Roger Federer to win.

That's when you've got to grit your teeth and hang in there and try and find a way to win when you're not playing your best tennis - that's what I can be proud of

Even when I was No. 1 in the world, I was taking it one match at a time. I never was a player to look too far ahead, the way draws can pan out.

When I go out to play, I still believe I'm as good as anyone out there. I don't have to prove anyone wrong. I know what I've done and how well I can play.

I'm fortunate: I can play as long as I want to play. There's no coach or trainer who is going to say to me that I'm dropped or sacked, it's time to move on. I can play as long as I want to play.

Matches are won and lost so many times in the locker room.

When I was a kid in Adelaide, I dreamed of becoming No. 1 in the world, winning a grand slam and the Davis Cup for Australia.

I was lucky enough to win the Davis Cup in my first year in 1999. I won my first slam at the U.S. Open in 2001 and became world No. 1 later that year. By the age of 20, I'd done it all.

I'm not a guy who needs to read motivation books.

Everyone has to call 'time' at some stage.

That's what you do all the hard work for, to play in situations that put your body through gruelling times. If you're not up to it, pull out.

Think about it. When you die you'll be surrounded bu the people you killed. Who the hells goes around killing people they like? In the Afterdeath we'll be surrounded by our enemies.

Only God knows hearts, and so only He can say, in truth, “I know how you feel.”

A traitor is good fruit to hang from the boughs of the tree of liberty.

People ask me 'what was going through your mind in the race?' and I don't know. I try and ...let my body do what it knows

Magellan went around the world in 1521, which is not too many strokes when you consider the distance.

Leadership is a series of behaviors rather than a role for heroes.

We may writhe in agony from pain Or laugh out loud when we find happiness As long as we're alive tomorrow will come we become stronger and keep on living We were born to live

You don't really need modernity in order to exist totally and fully. You need a mixture of modernity and tradition.

The hand of Vengeance found the Bed To which the Purple Tyrant fled The iron hand crush'd the tyrant's head And became Tyrant in his stead.
