The only person that I have met, that I have ever been in awe of, is Eddie Vedder.

People know me. I'm not going to produce any cartwheels out there. I'm not going to belong on Comedy Central. I'll always be a tennis player, not a celebrity.

In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf. I played three rounds in that Tahoe event, and I was drained. Mentally, not physically.

The difference of great players is at a certain point in a match they raise their level of play and maintain it. Lesser players play great for a set, but then less.

I made it look so easy on court all those years. No one realized how hard I had to work. No one realized how much I had to put into it. They underestimated my intensity.

I never wanted to be the great guy or the colorful guy or the interesting guy. I wanted to be the guy who won titles.

Yet a mysterious gate lay open within her shadow

Strategy is about out-thinking your competition. Mark Zuckerberg, while at Harvard, built a website called Facemash ‘for fun’. Even today, Facebook believe that ‘done is better than perfect’.

It women knew what we were thinking they'd never stop slapping us.

In almost every marriage there is a selfish and an unselfish partner. A pattern is set up and soon becomes inflexible, of one person always making the demands and one person always giving way.

I see a future where American companies lead the world in the production of hybrid-plug in cars and electric vehicles.

I feel wonderful because I see the love light in your eyes, and the wonder of it all is you just don't realize how much I love you.

In a man devoted to knowledge, pity seems almost ridiculous, like delicate hands on a cyclops.

So how can I hold Tobias’s desperation against him, like I’m better than him, like I’ve never let my own brokenness blind me?
