My family are not sporty - they are all doctors or lawyers.

I am not blonde, yes. Have I dreamt about having a model contract? No. But have I dreamed about winning Wimbledon? Absolutely.

I have no sponsors because I am not blond, tall and slim enough

It can be boring to see the same players winning every time.

I like to draw, produce paintings, do something with my fingers - but I am very normal, down-to-earth person.

I can't permit myself to do things halfway; I never was like that.

I have to use other things to help my tennis, like my brain. But I believe that, even when your muscles are not so fast, with the brain and with concentration you can compensate.

Maybe something is wrong with me but I just think I'm normal. I'm not super-skinny but I'm not super-fat. But I don't really care about what other people say.

I started faster today which was good. I returned well but my serve was good, which was the key. I think I'm getting used to the conditions.

I always beat Jankovic so who do you think I want to play?

I will have won Wimbledon this year in 2013, and I will stop with that. It was magnificent. You will certainly see me at tournaments again, but not playing.

Mistakes are your school of learning therefore forgiveness is your greatest teacher in this school of learning.

I think that I'm serious, but I don't think that I'm inordinately bleak.

You know what Gordie Howe got for a signing bonus? A team jacket!

I didn't really get a normal childhood.

So, in a way I was hedging and saying that if the Olympic stuff doesn't work out at least I can be a lawyer.

That lies should be necessary to life is part and parcel of the terrible and questionable character of existence.

Men who leave their money to be distributed by others are pie-faced mutts.

To accomplish artistic work, of any individual worth, nature must be seen through the medium of the artist's intellectual emotions.

Ideally I would like the work to be a hybrid between painting and photography.

When a man is part of his canoe, he is part of all that canoes have ever known.
