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

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 one injury away from hanging up the racket at any time.

His closeness makes my heart beat faster, my skin tingle, my body want things it doesn't even know.

Feeling hurt and not being able to recover is a consequence of 'Love until it hurts'.

I had all these tapes in my closet that I had shot years ago with my friend Jean-Michel Basquiat. I was working on a film about him when he died, and then I just put everything away. It was too sad.

There is nothing like chess to keep the brain smart, and give it a workout.

It took seven years from the day I decided I wanted to write fiction to actually getting a book published.

All our words and actions pass in review before God.

America is successful because of the hard work and creativity and enterprise of our people.

There is more power in telling little than in telling all.

Those who understand the eternal blessings which come from the temple know that no sacrifice is too great, no price too heavy, no struggle too difficult in order to receive those blessings.

I have a mother that's very strong and family that surround me and constantly tell me they love me.
