When I got to match point in the final I was afraid I'd be a little nervous, but I just said, You have to stay focused, just think about what you have to do.

I have an office in Argentina, I go there every day, so I work.

I didn't know what was going through my mind.

Tennis has had a very positive impact on my life.

Perfect harmony of body and mind are my key to personal balance and happiness.

I was a very shy and introverted person, and it was hard for me to talk to people and make relationships.

The difficult part was to tell the world that I was finishing.

I played Mary Joe Fernandez in the semifinals. She was winning the first set. Second set was very close. I started to play this aggressive game. I think I surprised them.

There were so much affairs of me created by the media... of course I was not always a true single. I had some relations, once also to a famous pop star.

I think in the lifetime of a tennis player there are many times where you feel that tremendous confidence.

Now I have the bravery to do fine things.

Somehow, like so many people who get depressed, we felt our depressions were more complicated and existentially based than they actually were.

Very often people have a very limited way of thinking.

Religion, to me, is a bureaucracy between man and God that I don't need.

Female empowerment really is important to me. I'm a big nerd of the books from the 15th Century and 16th Century, when the men had all the power and the women had none of it.

I tend to score with songs from Western pop music.

One of the things I understood from early on was that art was a symbol of systemic inequity.

Seek first the Kingdom of God: that is, the first order of business is to transform one's own inner life, not the accumulation of external trappings of speculative knowledge.

But if you've ever felt love, you'll know how painful it is to suffer for love.

There is always a choice about the way you do your work even if there is not a choice about the work itself.

As an actor, you need that constant change, or things will get stale.
