My heroes are and were my parents. I can't see having anyone else as my heroes.

When I step onto the court, I don't have to think about anything. If I have a problem off the court, I find that after I play, my mind is clearer and I can come up with a better solution. It's like therapy. It relaxes me and allows me to solve problems.

The reason I became such a successful athlete was my mind was saying that no matter who you put up against me, I am better, I am the best.

I won't have any competitive instincts in any sports, other than golf. I can't see being competitive in sports any more.

We're beating a lot of poor teams. So what? We won a lot of games last year, too. Will Horace and Bill still be playing at this level in the playoffs...Can Pip keep it up?

I just feel that at this particular time in my career, I've reached the pinnacle of my career, I've achieved a lot in that short amount of time, if you want to call it short, but I just feel that I don't have anything else to myself to prove.

I've never been afraid to fail.
