I don't want to be remembered for my tennis accomplishments. That's no contribution to society. [Tennis] was purely selfish; that was for me.

This is my career highlight. Getting to the fourth round in the U.S. Open in my first year in the U.S. Open and first year on the tour.

I have always tried to be true to myself, to pick those battles I felt were important. My ultimate responsibility is to myself. I could never be anything else.

If I don't ask "Why me?" after my victories, I cannot ask "Why me?" after my setbacks and disasters.

You come to realize that life is short, and you have to step up. Don't feel sorry for me. Much is expected of those who are strong.

In America you're conditioned to regard everything as a contest. You have to make the Ten Best Dressed List, win this, win that. It drives me nuts sometimes. Who cares, for Christ's sake?

When we were together, I loved you deeply and you gave me so much happiness I can never repay you.
