When you're young, you don't know what you don't know, so it's easier to get into that magical thing.

It's about you. If you win, it's you; if you lose, it's you. Black and white. Nowhere to hide.

When you're young, you don't know what you don't know, so it's easier to get into that magical thing.

The downside isn't really injury, fear of injury or the process of fighting back from injury. The downside, the very worst thing in the world, is surgery.

You do it for the highs, when you're totally engrossed and everything's flowing and whatever you want, you get. It's like magic. That's why you play the game. That's what it's for. That's why you work.

You can't really describe how difficult it is to deal with. It is any athlete's worst nightmare to be accused of cheating by taking drugs. It really is very difficult to put into words how it makes you feel.

It's not a break until you hold your serve.

The only way to get back the confidence is to play and win matches. You can practise as much as you like, but you need confidence that comes from playing and winning matches.

I don't read all the newspapers.

I'm happy in retirement.

I'm really looking forward to getting back and winning some matches but I'm not thinking about the U.S. Open yet, just getting through my first match.

If I stay healthy and I'm playing good tennis I have as good a chance as anybody.

It is a big adjustment but I've always loved that old saying of Jack Nicklaus: 'I retired from golf to go to work.' That sums it up for me.

My biggest problem will be lack of match toughness but I am a positive, optimistic person.

What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

You win any which way you can. You do what you have to do to get by. That's the way it works in any job.

It will never be Hollywood, the same way people think it should be. I think it will grow and it will be healthy and it will expand into more than one production house.

I like fashion. I like being in shape. I like to look nice and I like to make money, but I don't think that's the most, No. 1, important thing.

I always saw Michael Gambon wearing madly psychedelic socks, and I always thought that's it is one of the few areas where men can really express colour and have a bit of a dandyish quality to their outfit.

Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.

I like to be able to control which players I'm working with. Because it doesn't matter how good a coach you are if the guys you're working with think they already know it all. You need a response, you need to feel they're trying. I want players who are always striving to improve.

No matter how you choose to act, that is the person you will become.

I have no want or desire to solo. I'd rather create melodies and accompanying parts.

No drama, however great, is entirely independent of the stage on which it is given.

I don't yearn to be a child again.

I was a huge comic book fan. It's weird because the era of 'Marvel' I was into turns out to be very important in the long run, but it's not the one that anybody romanticizes.

Technology is a queer thing. It brings you gifts with one hand, and stabs you in the back with the other.

The Green Lantern is a unique superhero because it's not that he's super that is his focus; it's that he's a man. He's very human. That's his greatest strength and his greatest weakness.

Down that path lies madness. On the other hand, the road to hell is paved with melting snowballs.

I think the accessories look very modern and very exciting. These big earrings, these big hoops. I think the girls are sort of falling in love with... collars, neck collars.

You want to go to a summer concert and not watch a band staring at its shoes for six hours and complaining.

When Jesus comes to live in our hearts the seed of holiness is planted.

All that is sweet delightful and amiable in this world in the serenity of the air the fineness of seasons the joy of light the melody of sounds the beauty of colors the fragrancy of smells the splendor of precious stones is nothing else but Heaven breaking through the veil of this world.

I've never had a written script.

If I try to write a song, I will completely fail to write a song. But if I'm just holding my guitar and I just start humming, then I'll have a song in an hour.

We were both very much the same. We were both very impulsive. We both loved life. We both loved shopping. We both had a love of clothes, obviously, because he was the designer that I kind of wore forever and ever.

Just because you might have a sparring match on the air doesn't mean there's any personal animosity.

There is no alternative. Every possible reason that could ever be offered for altering the spelling of words, still exists in full force; and if a gradual reform should not be made in our language, it will prove that we are less under the influence of reason than our ancestors.

It's a two-dimensional gig being a singer, and you can get lost in your own tedium and repetition.

Vampires are total sexual metaphors; there's just no way around that.
