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.

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.

The key to fashion is, you don't want to look like you're trying. You've gotta be natural.

I just think that people take me a little more seriously as a brunette. I don't know if that's just because of a societal preconceived notion that all blondes are stupid, but it's a different kind of attitude.

Israelis are displaying buds of xenophobia.

If one is lucky, a solitary fantasy can totally transform one million realities.

One of my favorite films is 'Dumb and Dumber.' I'd love to do some really silly comedy someday.

The scientists I looked up to at the beginning were not Latino. They were famous scientists of many years ago, like Madame Curie. Later, I realized that there were also, but a very few, Latino scientists. There were good ones, but very few, because there wasn't as much a tradition to be a scientist in our culture. But this is changing.

I started out Ice skating with Holiday On Ice and just got offered the part of R2 by chance.

We've been around long enough and have been to enough award shows to know that it is easy to lose to Phil Collins at any time.

The creative tension with spirituality vs. practicality in the world of politics is a vital conversation.

I feel like sleep is the most important thing. I notice in my body, when I don't get enough sleep on a consistent basis, how I am dreary, or my mood changes, or I'm not as focused.

'Charlotte's Web,' which I read sitting on my mother's lap, was the most emotional experience: that was when I made the leap from seeing how to untangle words to realizing how books both contain and convey strong feelings.

I was teased if I brought my books home. I would take a paper bag to the library and put the books in the bag and bring them home. Not that I was that concerned about them teasing me - because I would hit them in a heartbeat. But I felt a little ashamed, having books.

As an actor on sets, I've always clocked how hard the crew works, how much longer their days are, how much lesser their glory is - and the fact that their commitment to the work and project is unwavering, no matter the budget.

The real peril of war lies not in military defeat. It lies in war itself, whether we win or lose.

I like very dry humor. I don't like things that are over the top. I like subtlety. I like things that are nonchalant. I like characters that are sort of monotone and based in dark comedy.
