I felt that I did have the crowd behind me. That obviously helps a lot.

I'm telling you, it's so exciting playing out there because I'm playing well, you have the crowd behind you, and it's such a good feeling. I'm really having a good time out there.

I've been here playing against Connors and it can be very, very loud. It makes it exciting at the same time.

As years go by, chances of winning here are getting slimmer. That's just a matter of fact. It does get tougher, but it's possible, there's a tiny little chance.

A win is a win.

A good thing is I've been playing tennis I think every day for the last two months. I really haven't had a day off. I've been doing things that I did used to do.

I felt better being in the background. That's the way I like it.

I've been in a lot of trouble and come out of it. I think it shows a lot of good character.

I played Chang here under the lights here. I think that was '91. Another good match. I've played a lot more good matches under the lights than I played bad. You tend to remember some of the bad ones unfortunately.

If you serve well, your volleys are going to be so much easier. It has got to do with confidence, obviously.

I think in 1991, when Jimmy got to the semifinals, it was just incredible all of the people coming out.

I'm really trying to focus myself on playing tennis, and I think that's really important.

I'm always being realistic.

The crowds can be very loud, especially when you're playing in the evening.

You lose some, you win some. Nothing wrong with that at all.

I felt that I did have the crowd behind me. That obviously helps a lot.

Since a month, two months ago, you know, I've started hitting the ball well. I'm playing some really good tennis. That really helps. I sort of have to motivate myself to get pumped up. It really helps my game a lot.

I've been on the tour for many, many years. It's time for me to go now, before it's too late.

If I'm going to be out there, I want to be in the top 10 and really have a chance of winning a Grand Slam.

For me, and most of the other players, too, if you had to pick one of the four Grand Slams, you would pick Wimbledon. It's got tradition, it's got atmosphere, and it's got mystique.

I had one good racket, a Wilson Javelin. It was my favorite racket, and I made the mistake of putting it next to the heater. It just got so hot that it melted.

I'd won the Australian Open twice, but winning Wimbledon takes something special.

It was a tough year for me, '89, losing two Slam finals and losing another five finals. It wasn't until I won the Masters, or what's now called the ATP Finals, that things changed again. Suddenly I won seven tournaments in 1990 and became No. 1.

Once you succeed in tennis, financially you become quite well off.

Unless and until you inspire the people, you will not get results. Imposition will never give you the results. Inspiration will always give you the results.

You must live a life of self-consciousness always.

Parents should not smoke in order to discourage their kids from smoking. A child is more likely to smoke when they have been raised in the environment of a smoker.

And I think that's why I was going to be a musician. I was very rebellious. And I didn't want to be an actor. My father used to say to me you should be an actor if you want to be in the arts.

I don't see the point of having 80 million people online if all they are doing in the end is talking to ghosts in the suburbs.

I think team sports probably teach you more about giving - about being unselfish and being flexible.

Abolition of a woman's right to abortion, when and if she wants it, amounts to compulsory maternity: a form of rape by the State.

My liking for Scandinavian crime fiction led me into exploring literary writers from the same countries.

Filmmaking is the ultimate team sport.

We live in a time where government is not a leadership thing, it's more a business that's out there and running riot, so I guess the people have to go out there and say stuff.

I know I had no hand in making this war, and I know I will make more sacrifices today than any of you to secure peace.

I think the exploration and the search for who Jesus is, and that 2,000 years later we're still trying to figure out who He was, and did He really rise from the dead... And I think for me, the answer is 'yes,' and that's why we're talking about Him today.

I want to direct films, because I am a painter and a sculptor and I've done a lot of writing.

I am lord of myself, accountable to none.

So much of my life is not about work and that is usually mainly what I do tweet about. We live a very quiet life.

If direction is a look montage is a heartbeat. To foresee is the characteristic of both but what one seeks to foresee in space the other seeks in time.

So what I do is supervise the boarding process trying to get the shows the way I'd like them to be. And in some cases I've completely redone a board myself even though I'm not credited for it.

I love that thing on Amazon that you can go on and order a book, and you click on it and it says, 'You might also like,' or 'Other people who bought this have bought that.'

I am suggesting that as we go through life, we 'accentuate the positive.' I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still our voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment and endorse virtue and effort.

Doing my Broadway show '700 Sundays' reminded me how much I love working in front of an audience.

I grew up in a family of peasants, and it was there that I saw the way that, for example, our wheat fields suffered as a result of dust storms, water erosion and wind erosion; I saw the effect of that on life - on human life.

I would always hunch over, I was always taller than the boys. I had the extremely skinny legs... I would double up my socks, those ones from Footlocker, to make my legs look thicker.

When you're setting up a budget, a general rule is to start with your fixed expenses - your housing and insurance payments, and car payment, if you own one.

But I can also write in crappy motel rooms, while standing in line, or sitting in the dentist's chair.
