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.

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.

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.

There are so many more women and men who deserve opportunities. People of color. Period.

People pretend not to like grapes when the vines are too high for them to reach

People called me a hoodlum and a thug. But they didn't tell you I was a carpenter, an architect, a stand-up comic - even a bartender. And a barbecue cook. But they didn't tell you that.

I think being different going against the grain of society is the greatest thing in the world.

No single man makes history. History cannot be seen just as one cannot see grass growing.

Paul Robeson was an athlete, Rutgers valedictorian, lawyer, writer, actor in movies and plays, great voice - a black male doing it all, back when some people thought he shouldn't. One reason I do all the things I do is to break stereotypes that people can only do certain things.

The possession of wealth leads almost inevitably to its abuse. It is the chief, if not the only, cause of evils which desolate this world below. The thirst for gold is responsible for the most regrettable lapses into sin.

When you become a sannyasin, I initiate you into freedom, and into nothing else... I am destroying your ideologies, creeds, cults, dogmas, and I am not replacing them with anything else.

All software sucks.

I believe we all must face the fact of death. It is both gift and curse.

To sense the invisible and to be able to create it, that is art.

We'll get way further if we educate people and not lock them up.

When friends stop being frank and useful to each other the whole world loses some of its radiance.

If you don't have a story that will hold the audience, you won't have a successful show.

I was an expert horseman.

Two of the hardest words in the language to rhyme are life and love. Of all words!

What I love about sci-fi is that every generation's films are based on what we know at that point in time. We make movies about the future, but it's always based on what we have. Then, as science grows and we discover new things, so do our ideas.

The Russians obtained a number of plants under Lend-Lease, which had been authorized by Washington, that I thought were not justified for their war effort. They wanted them for postwar use.

Physics is nothing but the ABC's. Nature is an equation with an unknown, a Hebrew word which is written only with consonants to which reason has to add the dots.

My head can get to murder and rape for profit because I can understand greed as a human motive, but I cannot understand the voyeuristic desire to watch such a film. I can comprehend one and I cannot comprehend the other.

At the Sahara, the seats are banked and most of the audience is looking down at the stage. Everybody in the business knows: Up for singers, down for comics. The people want to idealize a singer. They want to feel superior to a comic. You're trying to make them laugh. They can't laugh at someone they're looking up to.

I think I've always been somebody to break rules.

I grew up in a town outside of Waco, Texas, and we had 30 acres.

I know that campaigns can seem small, and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you're sick of hearing me approve this message, believe me - so am I.
