Black people playing tennis, next white people will be tap dancing!

I refuse to accept anything less than 100% of what I can achieve.

Begging for acknowledgment, or even asking, diminishes dignity and diminishes power.

I've always considered myself to be just average talent and what I have is a ridiculous insane obsessiveness for practice and preparation.

I met my father for the first time when I was 28 years old. I made up my mind that when I had children, my children were going to know who their father was.

We spend money that we do not have, on things we do not need, to impress people who do not care.

I've never really viewed myself as particularly talented. I've viewed myself as slightly above average in talent. And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy's sleeping? I'm working. While the other guy's eatin'? I'm working. While the other guy's making love, I mean, I'm making love, too. But I'm working really hard at it.
