I think I have handled things pretty well last year and this. What I have to do now is try do it even better.

Yes, I have had difficult times on court and at certain tournaments but you need to forget about it and go forward because that's the way it works in our world.

We all had, at some point, matches we should have won and we didn't and that's the game. That's just the way the sport is. Otherwise, if everything was written before, we don't need to play.

There were many occasions in my career where I could have given up, where I asked myself whether I would ever make it.

Whether it's in the right way or sometimes the wrong way, you learn about life and its lessons.

It took me time to adjust and to realise it was not going to happen like it did in the juniors.

Well, I guess I needed this tough first round to really put me into that tournament, to really erase what happened at Indian Wells, which is now the case, you know.

I think you always have, you know, new players. Every year you see new faces, juniors coming into the seniors. I was one of them at the time long time ago now.

I definitely wanted this win today and I don't want anybody to talk about my nerves anymore.

Right now I have more confidence in myself. I grew up.

My coach told me I had to expect, you know, some long rallies and stuff. So, you know, I was ready for this.

Do no harm, but take no shit.

There is no 'the truth,' 'a truth'--truth is not one thing, or even a system. It is an increasing complexity.

Anger is really disappointed hope.

I'm absolutely a Ron Paul fan.

I tend to enjoy proving people wrong.

Man, at least when educated, is a pessimist. He believes it safer not to reflect on his achievements; Jove is known to strike such people down.

We're asleep until we love.

Realism has to be such high quality, you can't fake it. It's all hanging out there like the laundry.

I feel that we should always be a real friend, always, even to those who chose to be fake. Not because they are nice but because you are.
