When you're hot, anything can happen.

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

I'm not begging to be remembered or whatever. I did my thing, and if you remember, that's even better. But if you don't, there's so many other things going on.

What works for the person you're imitating may not work for you.

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

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