Coming back after the layoff, I wasn't really sure what to expect.

People want to hear what I have to say and respect what I say.

To win Grand Slams you have to be in the right frame of mind, the right physical shape.

Yes, I made mistakes by rebelling, by acting out in confused ways.

Forget about tennis, I was scared to open my mouth. I didnt even feel worthy of saying something and not sounding stupid.

I just want to get to the level where I can say that that's my level, just try to play well, get up there.

Let me say that the path I did take for a brief period of my life was not of reckless drug use, hurting others, but it was a path of quiet rebellion, of a little experimentation of a darker side of my confusion in a confusing world, lost in the midst of finding my identity.
