When you are a professional sportsman all the guys are great competitors in the top 50.

It's better to have done because then you know what the player is going through and you understand the pressure, but then on the other hand I know a lot of people that were good players but not good coaches, and vice versa.

You should just enjoy it, but as soon as you decide that it is going to be your career, no matter whether you want to be a doctor or an architect or anything else, you need to work 5 hours a day.

If you lived the doubles, as I did, which was very stressful, you are sitting down in a chair experiencing a match without being able to hold a racquet in your hands.

You can be a little lonely because it's an individual sport.

I think our strength is this strong relationship we have all together.

I had a coach that was not a great player, but he taught with kids and juniors so that by the time he was 50 he was great. He helped me make the top 5 in the world and yet he wasn't a great player himself.

I retired because I had a knee injury, my cartilage was wearing out, it was painful and I couldn't put in the four hours of practice each day that I needed to.

To be a professional tennis player you need to put in these sort of hours.

But I still serve pretty big and that's one of my biggest weapons, so if my shoulder holds up and I can count on it, I can win a few matches and then you never know how the other guys are going to react to the fatigue and the length of the matches.

Anything is possible as long as you have the passion.

When you are very little tennis should be fun, it should be a game.

There are some guys you have problems beating because of their style - I always had difficulties with guys like Michael Chang and Andre Agassi because their returns were so good and they played so well in defence.

Suddenly in the end when it's over, you feel a big weight on your shoulders. That's the role of the captain. Unfortunately, it's sometimes like that in sport.

If you win, fine, if you don't, you try again next year.

When we want to reach a dream for the second time, you want it to come true, when you try so hard, you are so close to achieving it, it makes things very difficult to live with afterwards.

I think each player and myself live things differently because I have no physical effort to make.

When you are a professional sportsman all the guys are great competitors in the top 50.

More than specific memories of achievements, for me I remember the feeling you get when you were just at your very best - when you felt like you were floating across the court and could put the ball wherever you wanted.

It's a tough world out there and all the guys are fighting hard and the competition is really tough.

Speaker Newt Gingrich has appointed a task force, which I'm on, and over the next couple months the task force is going to try to come up with legislation that does what we're all trying to do. I feel pretty good about the members that are on the task force.

Undocumented people get arrested all the time. I get arrested, and it's front-page news. I feel guilt.

Democracy give every man the right to be his own oppressor.

What you do is, you have your drawing board and a pencil in hand at the telescope. You look in and you make some markings on the paper and you look in again.

Real painters understand with a brush in their hand.

Everyone I've ever played has been flawed.

Don't let the critics get you down.

I was not a child star. I was more like a young auditioner.

Actually my first eight books were historical novels, but they were never published.

It was an unknown thing, a lot of people had very bad trips and I like to be in control.

'SNL' ain't been relevant since Jim Belushi. It's on every week; it's not funny. They need to find some black women to put on there to make it funny.

Have you any idea what it's like to live under the same roof as four women? Armageddon is the best word for it.

I used to be tense or nervous before heats. But I've learned to get rid of the negative stuff and just stay relaxed and positive - and it seems to be working for me.

I'm so incredibly tired of giving respect to a lot of delusions and crazy ideas just because they are regarded as religions.

Good hygiene enhanced sound well being.

My hat was pulled down and this girl said 'Are you really him?' I whispered 'Yeah, I'm really him.' She screamed, 'Mom! Dad! It's Heath Ledger!

I think that vampires are sexy. The idea of them being untouchable has been really exciting for people.

It takes time to get the whole package. Freshmen cant be seniors.

I think politics is like an X-ray machine: Everything is found out eventually.

It's still not easy to find roles that offer more complex images of women.

Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.

It was tough doing 'Underneath the Lintel' in New Jersey in the wintertime, but rewarding. Those audiences were lively and interactive. On-stage was great, but off-stage was difficult.
