You have to find it. No one else can find it for you.

My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories.

It's not easy to part with the trophies. However, I do need to have some long-term financial security for those close to me.

You have to find it. No one else can find it for you.

If you're afraid of losing, then you daren't win.

As tennis players, we work and we sacrifice many things. To lose, that's not a happy thing - I mean sure, I was disappointed. You have to come back strong. But to win the last point in a grand slam tournament, that's the most beautiful and most satisfying feeling you can get as a tennis player. It's worth it.

Basically I started playing double handed on both my forehand and backhand side because my first racket was very heavy.

I enjoy fashion.

I had a great tennis career. I have no regrets. But to find peace with yourself, and to finally be with your family - I'm probably the happiest guy in the world.

I just hated to lose.

I play tennis five hours a week, from Monday to Friday, for one hour every day. I like to be fit. If I can't exercise, I feel bad - I need to sweat and run to feel like I'm in good shape.

I wanted to win, even in practice.

I was fascinated by a compelling character embroiled in a controversial topic that told the story from a different point of view.

I'm amazed that years after I stopped playing tennis, people still recognize me in restaurants and ask for my autograph.

I'm an actor who plays an intriguing character, not a political pundit.

It's tough when you're No. 1. You don't have any private life, you can't even walk anywhere. I think that was one reason why I lost my motivation to play tennis.

Roger Federer is stylish.

When I retired from tennis I wanted to do other things with my life.

You know growing up in Sweden meant we had a lot of rain when we played tennis. We were taught on clay courts but because of the weather, we had to go indoors a lot.

You never know how long Federer is going to play, but in my opinion he has at least one or two more grand slams to win. It depends how long he stays motivated. For me, he is the greatest player to ever play the game.

Everybody sung in my family.

I've played soccer since I was five.

I never fit in as a kid. I always felt that there was something different about me.

When you lose a child in an accident as I did, it's final - you're not caught in this longing for him, to search for him, knowing he's out there some place.

I don't call magazines and let them know about things so they can write stories.

The Devil take the hindmost

Every community has its own specialty and it's not just for clothing obviously, but for the home, etc.

To have a childhood surrounded by people like Sir Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh sounds glitzy, but for years I wanted to repress it. I couldn't take that kind of power and success.

Beware of over-confidence; especially in matters of structure.

We always have a take that's 'one for fun', so once you've got what you need, you can do what you like. Something does occasionally pop out of that tree. I'm always open to ideas.

Kids think books are cool, especially when they see that people they think books are cool are reading.

The only really good piece of advice I have for my students is, 'Write something you'd never show your mother or father.' And you know what they say? 'I could never do that!'

If nothing is serious anymore, then there's nothing to satirize.

Timing is a very important part of being a father. You should never show your kids things before they're ready. Especially with movies. Toys like Lego are okay because the fact that your 3-year-old can't understand the instructions ultimately leads you to constructing it yourself... the secret plan all along.

We do not kill an Iraqi.

Soaps taught me the fundamentals of the game. You know, how to show up, hit your mark, how to be on time. That soap opera world is a microcosm of the entertainment culture.

SELFISH, adj. Devoid of consideration for the selfishness of others.

Journalism has a distinct place in familiarizing and expressing public opinion.

We reviewed our process at Greylock and discovered that the best investments are non-obvious enough that they result in a mixed vote by our partnership.

I've always loved to fight. I love what I do, and that is why I've been doing it for so long. I really enjoy fighting and competing at a high level. I love getting in there and getting after it.

I take on daunting tasks.

Context and memory play powerful roles in all the truly great meals in one's life.

The saddest part of the human race is we're obsessed with this idea of 'us and them,' which is really a no-win situation, whether it's racial, cultural, religious or political.

There is something sublime about its aloofness from and its indifference to its external environment.
