You know how kids are. They like to do what parents do.

I have seriously thought about retiring, but that was on a good day. On a bad day I've thought about killing myself.

I am not playing Wimbledon because I am allergic to grass.

But to be fair, if you take players from my era to now, the game has changed and the players have many more shots. They use them differently than we did. The speed of the game has changed.

I just travel all the time. And I was just looking at the schedules now and starting the first week of October I will be every weekend with somebody at tournaments through Christmas. So it gets very difficult to just go away and not do that.

It's flattering to be compared in any way to Tiger Woods, because he's the best player in the world.

If you look at any superior athlete, you will find a strong parental influence. Parents introduce their children to a sport, and then they support them.
