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.

Art doesn't interest me. Only artists interest me.

People of faith should be able to have confidence in their right to freely express and live their beliefs.

A library is thought in cold storage.

I have a showroom where we experiment with twelve cakes. We develop sketches and ideas for cakes for the next season. We work with the top fashion designers to see what type of lace they are using or work with the top florist for us to be able to make various sugar roses or flowers.

A nation that forgets its past can function no better than an individual with amnesia.

If Martin Luther King came back, he'd say we need another civil rights movement built on class not race.

Without making a fetish of goal setting, and without letting "lists" of tasks we desire to do dominate us, some recording of goals is wise not only for the self-reminder these constitute, but also for the satisfaction of crossing things off.

I really like writing from real-life experiences. Audiences seem to prefer the stuff I couldn't have made up.

The passion for stretching yourself and sticking to it, even (or especially) when it's not going well, is the hallmark of the growth mindset.

Opponents of civil liberties contend the NSA data collection has made our country more safe, but even the most vocal defenders of the program have failed to identify a single thwarted plot.

Some of my lowest points were the most exciting opportunities to push through to be a better person.

Changing what you don't like about yourself can be empowering, and that's not a bad thing. Feeling secure enough to own what is weak and missing from either your body, mind or spirit and to commit to action to change it is a good thing.

We're living through the twilight of American economic dominance.

A sort of war of revenge on the intellect is what, for some reason, thrives in the contemporary social atmosphere.

The media is comparable to government-probably passes government in raw power.
