I never waited 27 years, because 27 years ago I was just born. My parents never told me, 'If you don't win Roland Garros we take you to the orphanage.

I don't need to come back to Wimbledon every year because I can't live without it. I'd be totally cool without tennis.

I can walk around screaming, 'I have 17 Grand Slams. I have the record here or there.' When you can play for history and you do it, that's what is so really cool, is that you can then be compared to other greats or you've passed another great, even though it doesn't mean you're better than him. But it's just like that moment you've gone into the unknown where nobody else has ever been before.

When I think of the Olympics I only think of good things. I think of what a great event it is and what it has done for me and my career, and changed my personal life, too.

You can't expect yourself to be already peaking like crazy in an exhibition tournament.

I'm playing great tennis. I'm enjoying the tour, having fun with the fans off the court. I'm loving it now.
