Well, I guess I needed this tough first round to really put me into that tournament, to really erase what happened at Indian Wells, which is now the case, you know.

Yes, I have had difficult times on court and at certain tournaments but you need to forget about it and go forward because that's the way it works in our world.

We all had, at some point, matches we should have won and we didn't and that's the game. That's just the way the sport is. Otherwise, if everything was written before, we don't need to play.

There were many occasions in my career where I could have given up, where I asked myself whether I would ever make it.

Whether it's in the right way or sometimes the wrong way, you learn about life and its lessons.

It took me time to adjust and to realise it was not going to happen like it did in the juniors.

I think you always have, you know, new players. Every year you see new faces, juniors coming into the seniors. I was one of them at the time long time ago now.

I definitely wanted this win today and I don't want anybody to talk about my nerves anymore.

Right now I have more confidence in myself. I grew up.

I think I have handled things pretty well last year and this. What I have to do now is try do it even better.

My coach told me I had to expect, you know, some long rallies and stuff. So, you know, I was ready for this.

A man.A really manly man with a lot of mannishness in his manliness.

Death, he had come to believe, was a corrosive thing, and the more he was around it, the more it gnawed away at who he was.

There is nothing so habit-forming as money.

The consideration that human happiness and moral duty are inseparably connected will always continue to prompt me to promote the former by inculcating the practice of the latter.

People are really concerned with what other people are saying about them.

I have my moments, but generally speaking I shy away from being too lovey dovey.

Perhaps there is no agony worse than the tedium I experienced waiting for Something to Happen.

I love Tumi because of the lifetime guarantee. And their luggage is just so solid. Looks good. Versatile. My carry-on bag is Tumi. My hanging bag is Tumi. My big suitcase is Tumi. All black. Love it.

Your fear that your parents will actually kill you for dropping out of college is something that I think a lot of children of immigrants would maybe relate to.

Greatness is contagious...You'll catch it if you get around it.
