One little secret of the guys who have won one slam, is that we don't want other guys to win one because its like a bit of a special fraternity.

I want everyone to look back and think that I was awesome.

I definitely think the European weather has more of a factor than the European clay. I think the European weather changes from week to week, I mean, last year it was sunny and hot and this week it's kind of playing tricks on us a little bit. I definitely think that is a factor.

If I wore a sleeveless shirt, people would try to feed me after the match.

I had a very detailed retirement plan, and I feel like I've met every aspect of it: a lot of golf, a lot of carbs, a lot of fried food, and some booze, occasionally - I've been completely committed... The results have shown.

I'm just glad to see that Pete (Sampras) shut everyone up last year. That was satisfying. You can't bag on guys like Pete or Tiger (Woods) or Michael Jordan. They can play as long as they want, they can do whatever they want. Nobody should be able to tell them differently.

My backhand is definitely a lot more solid and consistent. There were times when I couldn't hit it into the ocean.
