There wasn't a rich father or rich family that paid for everything that I have right now, so I worked my way.

If you're losing, just be a man, be a man and lose as a man. Don't pretend that you are injured and then you start running around and start to hit winners, and then all of a sudden you pull the hands up in the air after winning the match. I mean, what kind of sportsman are you? What kind of man are you?

I've had a lot of luck. If I didn't I'd be washing bottles in Russia.

I've lived my life the way I wanted to, whether scaling the mountains, partying long into the night or having fun playing soccer.

That was...that was choking. You're right. But of course when you play against (Roger) Federer, he's No. 1 in the world, he won three grand slams last year, and he's just full of confidence. It's difficult to do anything regular to beat him. You have to do something extra to be able to have the chance to beat him. Set points, I had six of them and I couldn't take one. But I was close.

You cannot change me; this is the way I am.

I definitely want to get out of tennis and try something completely different.
