I don't want to be remembered for my tennis accomplishments.

The ideal attitude is to be physically loose and mentally tight.

I accepted the face that as much as I want to lead others, and love to be around other people, in some essential way, I am something of a loner.

With what we give, we make a life.

I take the good with the bad, and I try to face them both with as much calm and dignity as I can muster.

Having grown up in a segregated environment in the south I know what it's like to be stepped on, I know what it's like also to see some black hero do well in the face of adversity.

Fear isn't an excuse to come to a standstill. It's the impetus to step up and strike.
