In tennis, it is not the opponent you fear, it is the failure itself, knowing how near you were but just out of reach.

I don't play any tournaments to come second best.

It's not the end of the world to lose.

I used to think that losing made you more hungry and determined but after my success at the Olympics and the U.S. Open I realise that winning is the biggest motivation.

You have to go into each match believing you can beat all of the players.

Give it everything you've got. Leave nothing out there.

Where resources are plentiful (i.e. no constraints), you will find very little creativity. Where resources are scarce (i.e. many constraints), you will find an abundance of creativity.

I've realised over the years I play my best when I have time to prepare for each tournament as best as possible.

Life is not a funfair, life is a warfare

Never confuse honor with stupidity!

To 'see both sides' of a problem is the surest way to prevent its complete solution. Because there are always more than two sides.

At times failure is very necessary for the artist. It reminds him that failure is not the ultimate disaster. And this reminder liberates him from the mean fussing of perfectionism.

Justice? You get justice in the next world, in this world you have the law.

I love to be pursued. I think that when you're not a challenge, it's just nnot as fun for the guy.

I've always used songwriting as a way to help me organise reality.

The Soul is shriveled up and buried in a grave that does not love.

U Must Be What it is that youre Seeking - that is, U Need to Put Forth what U Want to Attract

On limestone quarried near the spot By his command these words are cut: Cast a cold eye On life, on death. Horseman, pass by!
