People don't seem to understand that it's a damn war out there. Maybe my methods aren't socially acceptable to some, but it's what I have to do to survive. I don't go out there to love my enemy. I go out there to squash him.

With everything else that would swirl around me when I got involved in it, tennis was my main concern.

There is only one number one. It is a lonely spot but it has got the best view of all.

Tennis was always there for me, which was lucky. I would go play baseball, basketball, football, hang with my brother, do whatever, and at the end of the day I'd come back and say, 'Hey, Mom, would you hit 15 minutes worth of balls with me?'

The trouble with experience is that by the time you have it you are too old to take advantage of it.

I am not looking to be understood or liked. Like me or not, I don't care. I am an outsider, that is the way I was brought up.
