I definitely feel Russian inside, even when I'm in America I feel Russian.

I never think about the numbers. I've never played tennis for the money, because as long as I enjoy it, and I can achieve anything, then the money will come. I know that things will start coming up, many more people will want to start getting involved. But I just want to keep my head cool, and I want to leave (business) to the people who take care of business. I just go out and I just play tennis.

Music is a part of my life all the time - on the plane, before matches, driving out to the court.

When you travel so many weeks a year, it's always nice to have a home-cooked meal.

Those are real hard fans. There are a lot of them here. Some are a little bit crazy with their drinking their beers every once in a while. But I love it.

I don't need many things. I don't need glamour and attention to be happy. I'm very happy being settled and working my butt off and trying to win grand slams.

I don't do heavy weights at all.
