My video game character is a bit better looking than me, actually. I don't think he has to worry about his hair getting messed up.

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 not a guy who needs to read motivation books.

Everyone has to call 'time' at some stage.

That's what you do all the hard work for, to play in situations that put your body through gruelling times. If you're not up to it, pull out.

He's got an overall flair for the game. It looks to me like he really loves what he does and he can't wait to get up in the morning, go hit some balls and go play.

Book dedication To myself, without whose inspired and tireless efforts this book would not have been possible.

Few people realize the profound part angelic forces play in human events.

NASA sends probe to Uranus, people everywhere giggle.

Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen sat one morning in the window-bay of their father's house in Beldover, working and talking.

Jealousy is the very reverse of understanding, of sympathy, and of generous feeling. Never has jealousy added to character, never does it make the individual big and fine.

Horror movies have never been my thing. I love psychological thrillers like The Exorcist, The Shining, even though they scare the living daylights out of me.

The most difficult times for many of us are the ones we give ourselves.

That's not the federal law. What you're confusing is law with the opinion of a justice, what one lone federal judge says is not law.

My favorite thing is always wings. That is my guilty pleasure.
