You work your whole life to try to be the best you can, even if it's for only one day or one week.

I wasn't a perfect thing at 17. I didn't have confidence. I was hunched over and real embarrassed, and I didn't want to be in the limelight. But it changed over time.

I couldn't imagine being from a country where all the pressure is on a particular player.

I did everything I could except win. I feel fine. I just played bad at a big time.

I'm not that interesting!

We get criticized for showing no personality, and then we get penalized when we do.

If you go to Australia, the Australian Open is on all day long on network TV. There's no way CBS, NBC and ABC would do that. They only show the finals. That's always been the case. They don't want to give the time to the biggest tournament we have in the United States. Any other country, it's everywhere -- front page of the main paper, front page of the sports section. We haven't had that here.
