This is the hardest thing I've ever done. The rehab has not gone as expected.

I mean, obviously, a lot of people know me around the world. Kids know me.

What I want out of tennis is not necessarily just winning.

I do still have some of the experience from playing, but it's been so long since I've been out in those quarters, semis, finals, the important final matches, just against the top players.

I just want to get to the level where I can say that that's my level, just try to play well, get up there.

Coming back after the layoff, I wasn't really sure what to expect.

Let me say that the path I did take for a brief period of my life was not of reckless drug use, hurting others, but it was a path of quiet rebellion, of a little experimentation of a darker side of my confusion in a confusing world, lost in the midst of finding my identity.

I was an emotional basket case.

I know there is much mystery, much question to what happened, and I must also say, many lies.

This is the hardest thing I've ever done. The rehab has not gone as expected.

It wasn't my tennis that made me lose, it was a lot of different things going on, high drama, high emotion.

I'm happy with what I've done but it's a challenge to try to win more.

To win Grand Slams you have to be in the right frame of mind, the right physical shape.

But, you know, I just want to play well and have fun playing well.

Now a lot has changed and I can separate a lot of things.

I had an instinct before and maybe now I don't have that instinct as much as knowing what to do, what shots to hit, where to place the ball, things like that.

I feel like I've started a new chapter in my life, and I need to leave the past behind.

Yes, I made mistakes by rebelling, by acting out in confused ways.

Tennis is what I do and is part of who I am.

You know, I'm confident before I go out and play a match that I know, you know, I've put in the work and like I feel confident that I am going to go out there and play well.

It doesn't matter whether I qualify or wildcards.

I mean, I feel like just a new person completely.

People want to hear what I have to say and respect what I say.

Dreams do come true if you keep believing in yourself. Anything is possible.

I feel like Ive started a new chapter in my life and I need to leave the past behind.

So I decided to form a production company with my wife and our partner Diane.

I have had almost every job under the sun, it feels like. One of the first jobs I took was as a door-to-door pest control salesman in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Service without humility is selfishness and egotism.

Thursday is my favorite day to plan how I'm going to get out of the plans I already made for the weekend.

Writers who have nothing to say always strain for metaphors to say it in.

I would like to get back to making people laugh. Before drama school, I did nothing but comedy.

My husband wanted me to be a typical socialite. We never agreed on anything, so finally we decided it wasn't going to work.

Our business in life is not to succeed, but to continue to fail in good spirits.

I always loved as a kid reading 'Spider-Man,' and the 'Fantastic Four' would show up... it was all about that larger universe.

I grow plants for many reasons: to please my eye or to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy in seeing them grow.

Stars make money on real movies. They make big money on real movies. To come into my world, I've got some M&Ms and some potato chips, and I'm asking you to move furniture.

When it comes to the Internet, people like dealing with people.

It's a 360-degree sound experience. Like you're in the middle of the band. A lot of people have the technology to play the format, so why not put it out there. It sounds great.

Some visual artworks are made to be talked about more than to be seen, others are made to be seen more than to be talked about. I think I belong in the latter category.

I just followed my parents' example and advice on living, which was to leave the world a better place than you found it. They were professional do-gooders, ministers of the church, social workers, teachers, and missionaries, that sort of thing.

I always get asked for suggestions on what to get food-lover friends. While there are many gifts out there that a foodie would love, it's always good to do some research beforehand so you know you're getting a gift that will last.

The reason why we are disenchanted with ourselves is because we entertain in the depths of our psyche a kind of vision an anticipated vision of what we could be if we would be what we might be.

Yoga teaches you how to listen to your body.

I grew up when the whole Motown thing was huge. The charts in those days were dominated by groups more than solo artists at one point.

Love is life. All, everything that I understand, I understand only because I love. Everything is, everything exists, only because I love. Everything is united by it alone. Love is God, and to die means that I, a particle of love, shall return to the general and eternal source.

Atlas was permitted the opinion that he was at liberty, if he wished, to drop the Earth and creep away; but this opinion was all that he was permitted.

I think I already proved that I wasn't just fighting for the money, because I fought as an amateur. I fought 90 fights for free.

Lets go back I know its been a minute. But I can do it better than I did when I did it. You were loving me I was loving you. You can come over and we can have deja vu.

One of my top 10 favorite movies of all time was 'South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut.' 'Team America' is a work of genius to me.
