I envy Pete Sampras's dullness. I wish I could emulate his spectacular lack of inspiration.

A great coach can lead you to a place where you don't need him any more.

You don't cheat anybody out of their experience, whatever it is.

It's shocking how little there is to do with tennis when you're just thinking about nothing except winning every point.

Tennis is one of the only sports in America where the sport doesn't grow with the size of the person - it just forces you to swallow the whole pill.

First of all, let me say, 1:15 in the morning, for 20,000 people to still be here, I wasn't the winner, tennis was. That's awesome. I don't know if I've ever felt so good here before.

What makes something special is not just what you have to gain, but what you feel there is to lose.
