I'm amazed that years after I stopped playing tennis, people still recognize me in restaurants and ask for my autograph.

On Rafael Nadal: Every point he plays is like match point. That's why he's the champion right now.

My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match.

It's tough when you're No. 1. You don't have any private life, you can't even walk anywhere. I think that was one reason why I lost my motivation to play tennis.

I have a great family, great kids. I have practically everything, you know? Sometimes I have to pinch myself. It's really true: Life starts at 50.

I was fascinated by a compelling character embroiled in a controversial topic that told the story from a different point of view.

If you're afraid of losing, then you daren't win.
