You pay a price for everything in life.

To be a tennis champion, you have to be inflexible. You have to be stubborn. You have to be arrogant. You have to be selfish and self-absorbed. Kind of tunnel vision almost.

You've got to take the initiative and play your game. In a decisive set, confidence is the difference.

My first U.S. Open I think was just very special for me because that was sort of the beginning of what was a 'Cinderella' story for me.

When I play, I'm boiling inside. I just try not to show it because it's a lack of composure, and if you give in to your emotions after one loss, you're liable to have three or four in a row.

If you're a champion, you have to have it in your heart.

Find something that you're really interested in doing in your life. Pursue it, set goals, and commit yourself to excellence. Do the best you can.

You can't give up! If you give up, you're like everybody else.

Competitive toughness is an acquired skill and not an inherited gift.

Whatever your goal in life, be proud of every day that you are able to work in that direction.

The difference is almost all mental. The top players just hate to lose. I think that's the difference. A champion hates to lose even more than she loves to win.

Always live in the here and now

The moral and religious system which Jesus Christ transmitted to us is the best the world has ever seen, or can see.

I think Scotland has some great stories.

I think that the movies I do are the ones that I really like the least. I don't like watching them because of that problem.

The fountains of sacred rivers flow upwards (i.e., everything is turned topsy turvy).

A white wall is the paper of a foole.

For it ne sits not unto fresh May Forto be coupled to cold January.

We can't impede progress in the name of environmental action that yields little for the environment and even less for our people.. and we should look at the environment as an economic opportunity.

What I like is natural music. It's like I was born with a gift to do something naturally, which I have no choice but to followup on.
