Tennis has to become everything to you if you're going to make it to the top. You have to live it.

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

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

It's a drag having to wear socks during matches, because the tan, like, stops at the ankles. I can never get my skin, like, color coordinated.

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'm about the present.

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.
