You cannot take all the chances you get.

I could be the best looking guy in the Duma, but that's only because all the other guys are over 60.

It's too much pressure. You have to think match by match and moment by moment or it drives you to distraction. I'm tired of all the talk about it. Everyone is obsessed with it...If I was the type of person who had tennis, tennis, tennis all the time and I went to bed and ended up dreaming about tennis, I would go nuts.

Right now my main aim is not to get injured any more. I am a little bit afraid of running and sliding because the ankle was so painful. But I am not a person who runs a lot, who spends a lot of energy on the court. If I am mentally OK, if nothing is bothering me and I want to play, then it is fine.

I was making comebacks every single year. That makes it difficult mentally. It causes a lot of stress.

I could pose in fashion commercials as a high society star but politics is a new way of life.

Me, I don't need money.
