I think my greatest victory was every time I walked out there, I gave it everything I had. I left everything out there. That's what I'm most proud of. I can't go win Wimbledon anymore, so if what I've done in the past is not good enough, let it go. Because I'm certainly not sitting around thinking about it.

It was okay for Wayne Gretzky's dad, for instance, to give him a hockey stick, or Joe Montana's dad to give him a football, or Larry Bird's dad to give him a basketball, but it wasn't okay for Gloria Connors to give her son a tennis racquet.

Big money encourages tanking. In my opinion, tanking is going on even with a lot of the top guys today - it's quite evident.

Playing in front of 25,000 people and millions more on television, and performing and doing what I worked so hard to try to accomplish was, in my opinion, the ultimate. Do I miss it? Of course I do.

I've been kicked in the teeth more times in tennis than the law ought to allow.

The minute you think you know everything about tennis is the minute your game starts going down the tubes.

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