What I put in the stock market, I dont have to touch in my lifetime. I want to live off my bonds. I want to be that safe.

I don't believe in playing hurt, in taking injections to cover the pain.

I think for me, food was a way for me to deal with emotional trouble.

I have this terrible dark side to my personality, which playing tennis keeps at bay

I decided that I want to live the rest of my life happy with what I'm doing. So when I play tennis again, I have to play it for the right reason. I don't want to play to get my No. 1 ranking back. I don't want to play for the attention, or to earn more. I don't even want to play because the world wants to see me do it, even though it's nice to know that the world is interested. I only want to play because I love the game, which is the reason I began to play at age seven in the first place.

I did realize more than ever, after the stabbing, that tennis is a business - a tough business.

People think I must have been so talented at an early age, but I don't know - was it talent or hard work? Who knows?
