We've been training and playing full-time since we were 18 and 19. So after tennis, we'll be excited to see what it's like to have more free time.

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 don't need a vacation when there's anything to escape from...

History is never invisible, finally, though some people seem to work very hard to be willfully blind.

How can a man be so brave and so stupid, so gentle and so cruel, so warming and so detestable -- all at the same time?

Most of all, Creation must be protected for its own sake, even if we currently assign no value or an incorrect value to it.

They told me never fall in love, It never works out in your favor. You way too young and right now that's just human nature.

It's harder to empathize with those who appear to possess more power, status, or resources.

My dad was more, "Let's play chess. Read a book, you're stupid." He's more the intellectual type.

If my film does not do well, it really hurts me. But by God's grace, even if some of my films may not have done well, people have still liked my work in it.

There is no medicine to cure hatred.

O foolish writer. Now moves. Even in storytime, dreamtime, once-upon-a-time, now isn't then.
