I didn't have a big fat Greek wedding, but I have a lot of fat Greek friends.

I feel much more respected in Europe than I do in the States from the press and from the people. Americans expect me to win every match I play.

Winning is about taking your opponent's heart out and squeezing it until all the blood has come out, even the very last drop. There are no prizes for a funny loser.

I don't look so much for tips. But when they interview a Nicklaus or a Palmer, I'm all ears. I listen to guys who have done it, been successful for years.

I want to end my career on my terms, not on what people think I should do.

The difference of great players is at a certain point in a match they raise their level of play and maintain it. Lesser players play great for a set, but then less.

When you come back strong, you are going to have little nagging things that you can usually play through, but every now and again, it is to the point where you can't play.
