I'm enjoying my retirement, enjoying my life. I have two kids and a lot of my time is spent chasing these two animals.

People know me. I'm not going to produce any cartwheels out there. I'm not going to belong on Comedy Central. I'll always be a tennis player, not a celebrity.

In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf. I played three rounds in that Tahoe event, and I was drained. Mentally, not physically.

The only person that I have met, that I have ever been in awe of, is Eddie Vedder.

The difference of great players is at a certain point in a match they raise their level of play and maintain it. Lesser players play great for a set, but then less.

I made it look so easy on court all those years. No one realized how hard I had to work. No one realized how much I had to put into it. They underestimated my intensity.

I never wanted to be the great guy or the colorful guy or the interesting guy. I wanted to be the guy who won titles.

I let my racket do the talking. That's what I am all about, really. I just go out and win tennis matches.

You kind of live and die by the serve.

Anybody who has played sports and says they have never choked is lying to you.

Those 'back burner' thoughts, the ones the brain isn't quite sure about yet, may cook the slowest yet they often manage to be the tastiest when they come out.

When life hurts, have a date with your feelings.Breath and let the magic begin!

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

I went through withdrawal when I got out of graduate school. It's what you learn, what you think. That's all that counts.

I mean I tried to transform myself through characters throughout my career.

Not only can color, which is under fixed laws, be taught like music, but it is easier to learn than drawing, whose elaborate principles cannot be taught.

A man without ambition is worse than dough that has no yeast in it to raise it.

For women in my family, in Korean culture, women are really valued in their youth, and then when they get older, it's like they almost become irrelevant.

What I like best is a good story with a moral.

My wearing my hair in locs on an Oscar red carpet was to showcase them in a positive light, to remind people of color that our hair is good enough.
