It's more a tennis problem than a mental problem. The transition is difficult. It depends how much time you have. Playing on grass can sometimes be a bit of a lottery.

The glory is being happy. The glory is not winning here or winning there. The glory is enjoying practicing, enjoy every day, enjoying to work hard, trying to be a better player than before.

Losing is not my enemy..fear of losing is my enemy.

The only way of finding a solution is to fight back, to move, to run, and to control that pressure.

If somebody says I am better than Roger, I think this person doesn't know anything about tennis.

I play each point like my life depends on it.

I learned during all my career to enjoy suffering.

You have to accept both losing and winning well. I've stayed calm when I'm winning and I've stayed calm when I've lost.

I always had the theory that the most important thing is be happy, enjoy what are you doing, and be fresh mentally.

Anyone could become a star, but everyone must be a human being.

I always work with a goal - and the goal is to improve as a player and a person. That, finally, is the most important thing of all.

If you want to be productive, follow leads and dig. Whether it is for oil, gold or information, it requires action - your action. Question authority. Do it yourself.

I think the best thing about being dumb is that it makes magic a lot better. Where the hell did that rat come from? I dunno, but I'm calling the cops because he just cut that lady in half.

The ability to play is essential to being a creative artist.

Which is worse? Killing with hate or killing without hate?

When you have a wife who has been a tower of strength and shown more courage than you dreamed existed - that's the finest I know.

When you're talking to the media, be a well, not a fountain.

What feeds a fighters soul is victory.

There's so much wonder in the world. Don't let no one tell you otherwise.

A judicious silence is always better than truth spoken without charity.

Fish have water, the bushmen of the Kalahari have sand, and Houstonians have interior décor.
