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.

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.

Maybe it's my 15 minutes of fame, maybe it's longer.

The present condition of fame is merely fashion.

The fame aspect of winning the Masters... besides being married and becoming a father, that's a strong third there.

Fame and tranquility can never be bedfellows.

The best people renounce all for one goal, the eternal fame of mortals; but most people stuff themselves like cattle.

I wanted to be an actress. In college I was a serious feminist and very political. I was determined to get one thing out of my career and that was respect. I didn't want money. I didn't care about fame.

I was the executive editor on a little magazine called Greek Accent, whose only claim to fame is that its art director went on to be the art director of Discover for many years.

But once I acclimated and really used fame for what it was offering me as a tool to serve my life purpose of inspiring and contributing, then it started to get fun again.

Every day I work at not taking this fame thing seriously. Fortunately I have a great group of friends who help me do this.

I've experienced as much fame as I ever want to.

There is not in the world so toilsome a trade as the pursuit of fame; life concludes before you have so much as sketched your work.

It was never the fame or fortune that drove me to act. It was something I love and enjoy doing it. A lot of people identify who they are by what they do and that's not me. It's what I do but not who I am. Who I am is a parent. I'm a family man.

I'm the age now that Rock was when he picked me up, so I can understand how he felt - how his fame limited his freedom. You get kinder as you go along.

Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.

Sometimes I'm uncomfortable with the level of fame I've got! It all depends on the day and what's going on. I don't desire any more fame. I don't need it.
