I got bad calls every match, and I never got an apology. So I thought it was rather strange.

I think if you look at Andre then and now, you look at two different models. Of course it's personal preference, I think Andre now is a great role model for the kids. He has started training differently than he was before, and so on and so on.

If I don't practice the way I should, then I won't play the way that I know I can.

Many times the players get in there and it's just about as well as they could have done, and other times they get in there and they favorites and they don't win.

I think talent is dangerous to have if you take it for granted. If you use it well and put hard work with it together, it's hard to catch that guy. And I think that's what you're seeing right now.

I'm certainly not sorry that there were some things I missed. You may think you're missing something at that time but later when you look at it, you didn't miss anything.

I just travel all the time. And I was just looking at the schedules now and starting the first week of October I will be every weekend with somebody at tournaments through Christmas. So it gets very difficult to just go away and not do that.

I was between 2 and 3 in the world for two, three years. That's not exactly where I wanted to be.

But to be fair, if you take players from my era to now, the game has changed and the players have many more shots. They use them differently than we did. The speed of the game has changed.

I don't make a habit of watching tennis matches, but I try to watch all the major finals. I try to make time for that. So unless I have something going with the kids where I can't, I try to watch, and I enjoy that.

But it's very difficult, I can tell you I played the Czech Open a few times and it's very difficult just to go on to a scene where the course is prepared differently when the greens are fast and he's not used to it and they're hard as a rock and he's not used to it.

If you go to school and practice for five days a week, it still gives you two days you can go and see your friends, you can go to the movies, you do whatever you like to do.

I got bad calls every match, and I never got an apology. So I thought it was rather strange.

You know, you just go out there, do your best. Sometimes it's good enough and sometimes it is, and sometimes it stays your only one and sometimes you win bunch others behind it.

Because in order to beat Jimmy, I had to get around the ball a little bit quicker so I wasn't always on defensive and catching the ball on last stride, that I had little more time. Once I was able to get little bit quicker, then it has helped me a lot.

I enjoy life. I always enjoy jokes.

If you look at any superior athlete, you will find a strong parental influence. Parents introduce their children to a sport, and then they support them.

If you lose, it hurts, but as long as you have fought hard, you can still feel good about yourself.

It's flattering to be compared in any way to Tiger Woods, because he's the best player in the world.

Many Czech people are very talented. They can do many things, but when they get to a certain level, they are satisfied. I am not like that, thank God.

Many tennis coaches are enablers. They need the job more than the player needs the coach, and if the coach needs the job more than the player needs the coach, he can't effect change.

My serve and my forehand I pretty much always had, but my backhand was a made backhand. I worked on it for years.

Not winning at Wimbledon is not going to bother me forever.

People may say I developed an iron will, but what really happened is that I made myself much fitter. I think an iron will is always supported by fitness.

Tennis is basically a game where you try to create an opportunity for yourself to finish the point, because you can't wait for the opponent to miss anymore. Well, if you create an opportunity and don't take advantage of it, you let the opponent back to even, then you are just starting the point over, so you have to take advantage of them.

Tennis is not like other sports where the coach is hired by an independent entity, and that makes a huge difference in the dynamic.

You know how kids are. They like to do what parents do.

I don't ask for an apology because it's only tomorrow's fish-and-chip paper.

I am here today to again apologize for the personal mistakes I have made and the embarrassment I have caused. I make this apology to my neighbors and my constituents, but I make it particularly to my wife, Huma.

I rise today to offer a formal and heartfelt apology to all the victims of lynching in our history, and for the failure of the United States Senate to take action when action was most needed.

We inadvertently bombed the Chinese Embassy. But Clinton now is working very hard. He has sent a letter of apology to the Chinese. And, he's also given them a gift certificate for future nuclear secrets.

It will never do to plead sin as an excuse for sin, or to attempt to justify sinful acts by pleading that we have an evil heart. This instead of being a valid apology, is the very ground of our condemnation.

Maturity is the ability to reap without apology and not complain when things don't go well.

An apology for the actions of some troops who, of course, are not representative of the majority of the armed forces here, I think that would have been useful and it would have helped to some extent.

My singing voice is somewhere between a drunken apology and a plumbing problem.

An apology might help, but you can change your life without one.

Friends are God's apology for relations.

If Bush said just once: 'Boy. I hope you accept my apology as a country,' or showed some humanity.

An apology for the devil: it must be remembered that we have heard one side of the case. God has written all the books.

Cheyenne Autumn was received not too successfully. I still think it was a very good movie. It was kinda Ford's apology for the way he had treated Indians in his past pictures.

Our systems, perhaps, are nothing more than an unconscious apology for our faults, a gigantic scaffolding whose object is to hide from us our favorite sin.

The only correct actions are those that demand no explanation and no apology.

I had innumerable analysts who came to me in apology that the world that we were finding was not the world that they had thought existed and that they had estimated. Reality on the ground differed in advance.

If God doesn't destroy Hollywood Boulevard, he owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.

I got bad calls every match, and I never got an apology. So I thought it was rather strange.

A stiff apology is a second insult... The injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt.

First off, I'm not a scientist, and I make no apology for that.

I want to express my deepest apology to the athletes, the people of Salt Lake City in Utah and the millions of citizens worldwide who love and respect the games.

A hero is someone we can admire without apology.
