If you go to school and practice for five days a week, it still gives you two days you can go and see your friends, you can go to the movies, you do whatever you like to do.

If I don't practice the way I should, then I won't play the way that I know I can.

If you lose, it hurts, but as long as you have fought hard, you can still feel good about yourself.

If you become great, then you can become happy. If you're happy first, it's much more difficult to be great.

In tennis you move a lot. Golf you dont. In tennis, you can have a bad half-hour, but you cant in golf. You can lose the first set in tennis and still win.

Once you win, you have no doubt that you can win. So you have gone through it once, and you can do it again.

I was between 2 and 3 in the world for two, three years. That's not exactly where I wanted to be.

I believe the brain is like a muscle - like any other it can be improved.

My life goal right now is to die a good man, with a good heart, soul, and mind, with a good family, and a couple Grammys.

Realizing your virtues is based on your determination

Summer movies are spectacles that's what you pay 10 dollars to see. You want to get teased by effects sometimes. I think that will never stop.

I actually love pressure. I loved playing sport at school in front of a crowd; I love being on stage in front of a big audience. I buzz off that.

You shouldn’t act as a spokesperson for someone who’s trying to impose his will on you.

I really think of the studio as being like craftsmanship time, and then playing is about releasing energy, and the two are really different.

Sometimes God redeems your story by surrounding you with people who need to hear your past so it doesn't become their future.

Nothing agrees with me. If I drink coffee, it gives me dyspepsia; if I drink wine, it gives me the gout; if I go to church, it gives me dysentery.

I have always found the word 'Europe' on the lips of those who wanted something from others which they dared not demand in their own names!
