It's the same old story, all you think about is money.

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.

You have to be as light as you can be and not get weighed down and stuck in your emotion, stuck in your body, stuck in your head. You just want to always be trying to elevate somehow.

What makes our poetry so contemptible nowadays is its paucity of ideas. If you want to be read, invent. Who the Devil wouldn't like to read something new?

It is only myth that attempts to say how the universe came to be, either four thousand or twenty billion years ago.

Sometimes, the most courageous act a human can do is to let somebody love them

I say really stupid things sometimes. When I go back and watch some of my old interviews from when I was younger, I just cringe.
