I tend to be slim and you know, I actually can lose weight quicker than I can gain it.

Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do... but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there.

I don't focus on what I'm up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.

Just believe in yourself. Even if you don't, pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.

My motto is: I'm alive, so that means I can do anything.

In my mind, I'm always the best. If I walk out on the court (and) I think the next person is better, I've already lost.

Of course, I want to be number one. But being happy and healthy is the most important thing.

Tennis is mostly mental. Of course, you must have a lot of physical skill, but you can't play tennis well and not be a good thinker. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.

When you lose, you're more motivated. When you win, you fail to see your mistakes and probably no one can tell you anything.

In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.

If I cared deeply about what people thought of me, I probably would have never made it out of Compton, California.

Any death prior to the heat death of the universe is premature if your life is good.

Paris has always seemed ... the only city where you can live and express yourself as you please.

Truth is generally the best vindication against slander

If the Martians ever find out how human beings think, they'll kill themselves laughing.

When you get a little older, you think, I'd like to make a little money and stick it away or buy a place - or win the world championship.

All created things are impermanent. Strive diligently.

Obedience and resignation are our personal offerings upon the altar of duty.

To have guilt you've got to earn guilt, but sometimes when you earn it, you don't feel the guilt you ought to have. And that's what The Firebombing is about.

Often, when I want to consult my impulses, I cannot find them.

The only proper mask to wear in life is your own damn face.
