I have learnt to be even more patient.

I have learnt to be even more patient.

I can't stay No. 1 for fifty years, you know. We'll see what happens.

But so far I have the feeling that the chances are there to repeat last year's season.

Early in my career, I struggled with consistency, but I couldn't get more consistent than this year.

Before, I guess, mum and dad were everything, but now, in my case, I had two new girls and all of a sudden they're completely dependent on you and there's a third generation. It's a funny shift all of a sudden. You have the babies, you have yourself and then you have your parents.

I am extremely proud and honoured to have beaten Pete's record as he was my childhood hero and I have always looked up to him.

I don't mind fans coming up in a friendly, respectful way. That's all part of the fun of being a top tennis player. But if people take pictures without permission, particularly if my children are in the shot, I feel uncomfortable.

I don't need to come back to Wimbledon every year because I can't live without it. I'd be totally cool without tennis.

I enjoyed the position I was in as a tennis player. I was to blame when I lost. I was to blame when I won. And I really like that, because I played soccer a lot too, and I couldn't stand it when I had to blame it on the goalkeeper.

I feel a bit awkward playing in a red shirt out at Wimbledon. But I don't dislike it.

I had set a goal with my team to try and get back to the top of the rankings, but I never thought with the depth in the game this year that I would have been able to get it back so quickly.

I'm a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.

I've always been aware that the image you patiently construct for an entire career can be ruined in a minute. It scares you a bit, but that's the way things are.

My dad said if you become a tennis professional just make sure you get into the top hundred, because you have to make a little bit of money. You make a living so you can pay your coaching and, you know, your travels.

My favorite shot is always gonna be the forehand. It used to always be my favorite shot when I was young, so it's the one I've won all the points with.

Sometimes you have to accept that a guy played better on the day than you.

The serve, I think, is the most difficult, you know, in terms of coordination, because you got the two arms going, and you got to toss it up at the right time so.

The serve, I was too young and too small and... not enough powerful to have a good serve when I was young, so my forehand was always my signature shot. So I used to always run around my backhand, you know, use my forehand as much as I could, and so that's why I think it's my strength also today, you know.

This year I guess I decided in the bigger matches to take it more to my opponent instead of waiting a bit more for the mistakes. Yeah, this is I guess how you want to win Wimbledon, is by going after your shots, believing you can do it, and that's what I was able to do today.

We can't always agree on everything.

What I think I've been able to do well over the years is play with pain, play with problems, play in all sorts of conditions.

When I think of the Olympics I only think of good things. I think of what a great event it is and what it has done for me and my career, and changed my personal life, too.

When I won in 2003, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would win Wimbledon and have my kids seeing me lift the trophy, so this is pretty surreal. And yeah, I was almost shocked in the moment that it all came together so nicely.

When you do something best in life, you don't really want to give that up - and for me it's tennis.

You always want to win. That is why you play tennis, because you love the sport and try to be the best you can at it.

You know, I don't only play for the record books.

Being a husband is for me as big a priority as being a father.

The one thing you can do for sure is push the luck on your side.

No party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise. But when Governor Romney and his allies in Congress tell us we can somehow lower our deficit by spending trillions more on new tax breaks for the wealthy - well, you do the math. I refuse to go along with that. And as long as I'm President, I never will.

My only foray into anything stock-market-related was in my eighth grade social studies class. I have steered clear ever since.

I'm not really one for fancy, big words and poetry, and the scriptwriters worked very hard on 'Paradise Lost' to translate it.

People who liked the 'Arkham Asylum' video game can Google comics to download.

Diffidence is the right eye of prudence.

There are a lot of women who live with pot-bellied pigs.

Few realise that English poetry is rather like the British constitution, surrounded by pompous precedents and reverences.

Though we do need more women to graduate with technical degrees, I always like to remind women that you don't need to have science or technology degrees to build a career in tech.

Instead of isolating our school and our many subjects from the every day world, we intend to plant it not merely in the French capital, but in what for next summer at least will be the focal point, the capital of the entire civilized world.

Each feature I make is my focus at that time.

Pour yourself a drink put on some lipstick and pull yourself together.

People say, 'What a discipline, painting so much.' I say, 'No, I love it.' Nothing amuses me as much as my work. To have discipline would be not to paint.

Women are not inherently passive or peaceful.

I'm just trying to grow. That's one thing I told myself is, 'Don't worry about who people say is the best player.'

I think most serious writers, certainly in the modern period, use their own lives or the lives of people close to them or lives they have heard about as the raw material for their creativity.

Fashion is in a terrible state. An overdose of too much flesh.

Politics exist in the boardroom, as well.

Whatever I get involved in, I'm totally involved, you see.

As an artist, you're pretty sheltered backstage. You often don't know what's going on out there.

I am open to love in all forms.
