I don't care who you are, you're going to choke in certain matches. You get to a point where your legs don't move and you can't take a deep breath. You start to hit the ball about a yard wide, instead of inches.

Start where you are, use what you have.

There is a syndrome in sports called 'paralysis by analysis.'

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.

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

I have tried to keep on with my striving because this is the only hope I have of ever achieving anything worthwhile and lasting.

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.
