It's a great feeling to have accomplished what I have, but I want to do more.

Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do... but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there.

I don't focus on what I'm up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.

Just believe in yourself. Even if you don't, pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.

My motto is: I'm alive, so that means I can do anything.

In my mind, I'm always the best. If I walk out on the court (and) I think the next person is better, I've already lost.

Of course, I want to be number one. But being happy and healthy is the most important thing.

Tennis is mostly mental. Of course, you must have a lot of physical skill, but you can't play tennis well and not be a good thinker. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.

When you lose, you're more motivated. When you win, you fail to see your mistakes and probably no one can tell you anything.

In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.

If I cared deeply about what people thought of me, I probably would have never made it out of Compton, California.

You can't reach a mountain top without friends to help you get there.

When you're offstage, that's the footprint. That's the man God's gonna judge.

There are ways of dying that don't end in funerals. Types of death you can't smell.

If there would come a voice from God saying, 'I'm against vegetarianism!' I would say, 'Well, I am for it!' This is how strongly I feel in this regard.

The pine is the mother of legends.

Our generation must fulfill the most noble of duties by ensuring the survival of future generations through the most basic of survival mechanisms - adaptation.

Fascism was an emergency makeshift. To view it as something more would be a fatal error.

The most dangerous heart disease: strong memory

New skin, a new land! And a land of liberty, if that is possible! I chose the geology of a land that was new to me.

When you lose, talk little. When you win, talk less.
