I had moments of my actions and words not reflecting who it is I am - if that defines a punk, then yes, absolutely.

I think one of the greatest joys I have now in my career and in my profession is to be playing at an age where I can appreciate it more than I used to... It's a whole different lens you look through the older you get.

Sometimes it's just harder to remind yourself about what you're doing and why you're doing it... Other times, you have a great desire for it, but physically you're not responding the way you want. That presents other challenges. Then sometimes it all comes together.

When I was 7 years old I saw Jimmy Connors make someone carry his bag, as though he were Julius Caesar. I vowed then and there that I would always carry my own.

Few of us are granted the grace to know ourselves, and until we do, maybe the best we can do is be consistent.

I'm going to have to pick my shots and play great tennis.

How lovely it is to dream while you are awake.
