I served, she came to the net, it was a passing shot.

What these guys are doing is great for Argentinean tennis. This is motivating other people.

For me retiring wasn't hard once I knew that that was the decision I was going to make.

I felt nobody would understand what was going on in my mind.

It was very hard for me to practice and enjoy my tennis, and I didn't know the why, so I worked with psychologists to try and see what was happening. They pushed me really hard.

I want children, but at the moment the liberty I have now finally, has a far too high value.

I played Mary Joe Fernandez in the semifinals. She was winning the first set. Second set was very close. I started to play this aggressive game. I think I surprised them.

It's a great moment for Argentinean tennis, more on the men's side. I would like to see more on the women's side. I think we have to work a little bit more on that.

I was formerly so stuck into plans. I can now live more spontaneously. This I want not yet to give away.

I think in the lifetime of a tennis player there are many times where you feel that tremendous confidence.

When I got to match point in the final I was afraid I'd be a little nervous, but I just said, You have to stay focused, just think about what you have to do.

I was a very shy and introverted person, and it was hard for me to talk to people and make relationships.

That was one of those moments where I felt so confident. I played three matches in the same day.

I was feeling a lot of confidence, so I wanted to take advantage of that and keep playing.

I want not, that everybody hears about. Then I can't longer be myself.

The difficult part was to tell the world that I was finishing.

I carried through well with my tennis. I got the respect by usage of the tennis racket.

I never thought tennis was going to give me so much satisfaction.

It's amazing, it doesn't feel like it has been 10 years since retirement.

Now I have the bravery to do fine things.

I'm having a good time. Managing my things takes a lot of time.

I lost more then 6 kilograms when I ceased with the top sport. That were all muscles. They are now gone.

I can't laugh, be happy, present myself at any prize and also win on the centre court.

I work out in a studio. Every day, regardless where I am, at least two hours. I need it. I can't cease it.

I served, she came to the net, it was a passing shot.

Tennis has had a very positive impact on my life.

Regarding the Hall of Fame, when they decided I was going to be one of the possible candidates, when I heard that, I was so thrilled. You're always hoping for something like that.

When I finally held the trophy, it was just how I imagined it would be.

I have an office in Argentina, I go there every day, so I work.

I travel a lot to promote the perfumes and to do the commercials.

There were so much affairs of me created by the media... of course I was not always a true single. I had some relations, once also to a famous pop star.

It came so soon and so fast. It's just overwhelming. Every time I think about it, I just can't believe it.

I didn't know what was going through my mind.

When I lose a match, I know that I lose on the court and not in life.

People seem to be interested in me. So I try to keep my acting pretty simple.

That's definitely a part of who Superman is and definitely who Clark on the farm is. It translates to how calm he is. I feel like I'm pretty calm most of the time and relaxed, which gives presence to the character.

There is something of the warrior in me.

A fireman banged on my back door and I couldnt breathe. It scared me to death. I came out the back door and it just took my breath.

I try to keep in my mind the simple question: Am I trying to do good or make myself look good? Too many of our responsibilities get added to our plate when we are trying to please people, impress people, prove ourselves, acquire power, increase our prestige. All those motivations are about looking good more than doing good.

I have apologised to the police.

I just want to be the best Carly Rae I can be.

I travel often, so my routine is always getting scrambled. But on a standard sort of day, I get up at 6, pack lunches, hustle the kids off to school, then brew a pot of coffee and head downstairs to the dungeon, as I call it: my cobwebby office in the basement.

The death of a beautiful woman is questionably the most poetic topic in the world.

Still when I go on talk shows, I worry that I have to live up to a comedic persona.

Stop doing things that waste time. Don't replace time with your family or things that you need to do. I needed to put together two fantasy teams this weekend because that's something I enjoy, but I did stop playing Nintendo Wii for hours on end.

I believe the death of Bobby Kennedy was in many ways the death of decency in America. I think it was the death of manners and formality, the death of poetry and the death of a dream.

I love myself exactly as I am.

The power dynamics in a relationship are going to be fluid over a long period of time, so to wait for 'perfect' is going to be a mistake.

I always write the pieces I want to write.
