I am No. 8 in the world. I am not No. 100.

I always wanted to be honest with myself and to those who have had faith in me.

It should not be a child's only goal to become the best player in the world. That would be a bad, a harmful attitude.

I would like to believe there is a God, but I think it is better to say I'm not sure there is a God and live your life with kindness and respect for people than to say I know there is a God and then do bad things.

I don't have any idols, any heroes, nothing, no.

Honesty, willingness to exert oneself, friendship - all these things shaped me too.

Even if I have already peaked, I have to believe I can improve. I wake up every morning, and go to practice, with the illusion that I'm going to get better that day.
