But, then, Sampras won Wimbledon six times and that automatically puts him among the greatest.

I always liked serve-and-volley players and big athletes.

Safin, in his way, is very talented. It is a joy to watch them play; it is tennis of a very high quality.

Roddick can challenge him as well if he serves big consistently for the entire match. If he does that, then he is tough to break even for a guy like Federer.

But, then, Sampras won Wimbledon six times and that automatically puts him among the greatest.

Now that I have retired, and even though I wanted to play more, I can always look back and say that at least I won Wimbledon; also, winning the tournament in Rotterdam in 1995.

I may have exaggerated a bit when I said that 80 per cent of the top 100 women are fat pigs. What I meant to say was 75 per cent of the top 100 women are fat pigs.

But Pete had the desire to play at the highest level for so many years. That is very difficult, mentally.

There are a lot of good memories, and because I was injured, during the rehab, I met my wife. The tennis was very good but the injuries were good for something too.

But in 2000, the injuries really started to kick in and my elbow gave a lot of problems. At the end of the year I had to take 20 months off before I could come back into the game.

Hewitt is such a fighter on the court; he never gives up. They all have qualities to beat him.

I don't think anybody was ever up 6-2 and would lose the tiebreaker.

But the problem with coaching is that it is a full-time job. By that I mean for at least 40 weeks in a year you have to be with the player, either travelling or training. Right now I don't want to do that.

Roddick has good presence on the court and has so much adrenalin.

Federer can be the best ever; he has the potential. The only question is whether he has the desire.

My father's coaching Misha and I just might help from time to time.

But, then again, I had to stop because there was too much pain or too much trouble. After I retired I still had one more elbow surgery just to be able to do normal things.

Maybe, one other match better; but if you look at the tournament as a whole, I played very high quality tennis for seven matches and raised my game when I needed to.

I was serving good but was returning especially well, which was a weakness in my game. So not only was I serving well, but I was also breaking these other guys, and they felt the pressure.

For the first couple of years I played really bad tennis. It was so bad that they booed me off the court.

Contrasting styles is always the most fun to watch.

Guys like John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg and Stefan Edberg were also very good grass court players.

We are not the only animal that mourns; apes do, and elephants, and dogs. Yet we are the only one that tortures.

Our idea of nature is increasingly being determined by scientific developments. And they have become decisive for our image of reality.

Promises may fit the friends, but non performance will turn them into enemies.

'Party Down' was one of the most magical, special experiences of my professional career. Also special in my personal life, too. I made really good friends, and I had just a great time, and it was a great part.

Film is not an easy occupation. There's a lot of occupations that are difficult and film is one of them.

n understanding of the natural world and whats in it is a source of not only a great curiosity but great fulfillment.

There is an ecstasy that marks the summit of life, and beyond which life cannot rise. And such is the paradox of living, this ecstasy comes when one is most alive, and it comes as a complete forgetfulness that one is alive.

The Chinese government still would like to see U.S. Internet companies explore the Chinese market, providing they are willing to abide by Chinese law. I think companies like Facebook should think about the Chinese market.

Begin now to be what you will be hereafter.

For Islamist terrorist groups such as ISIS, the holy month of Ramadan - a time of fasting and prayer for the vast majority of Muslims - is seen as a particularly auspicious time to launch terrorist attacks.

When we did Dynasty, it was the clothes. I think the clothes affected every woman around the world. I got so many letters, I think we made the designer a millionaire!

They were singing in French, but the melody was freedom and any American could understand that.

But that private world, once it's dramatised, doesn't live again until it finds a reader.

I have a writer's memory which makes everything worse than maybe it actually was.

I want to travel around the country and make my living playing music. I also try to behave in a way that I would appreciate as a music fan. That's how we conduct ourselves, be it in writing music or playing it live.

You can get a slouchy woman's tunic at different price points. But if you want a great pair of trousers or a dress with delicate pleating, you're going to have to spend a little more.

There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind useless.

We emigrated to South Africa and later to Canada so I went to school in several places.

I was 16 when I started playing. I borrowed a friend's acoustic guitar, and I had a Beatles chord book. I just taught myself that way.

Every high school and college graduate in America should, I think, have some familiarity with statistics, economics and a foreign language such as Spanish. Religion may not be as indispensable, but the humanities should be a part of our repertory. They may not enrich our wallets, but they do enrich our lives. They civilize us. They provide context.

As an actor, you're always changing.

I wanted to portray very, very dark subject matter and a deceptively complex story in the brightest colours and simplest lines possible to leave the readers reeling.

The primary symptom of a controller is denial, that is I can't see its symptoms in myself.

But I'm not a member of the Democratic Party. If you know anything about me, anybody who's followed me, I'm the anti-Democrat. I have railed against the Democrats for a long time.
