When I go out to play, I still believe I'm as good as anyone out there. I don't have to prove anyone wrong. I know what I've done and how well I can play.

That's when you've got to grit your teeth and hang in there and try and find a way to win when you're not playing your best tennis - that's what I can be proud of

Even when I was No. 1 in the world, I was taking it one match at a time. I never was a player to look too far ahead, the way draws can pan out.

I'm fortunate: I can play as long as I want to play. There's no coach or trainer who is going to say to me that I'm dropped or sacked, it's time to move on. I can play as long as I want to play.

Matches are won and lost so many times in the locker room.

When I was a kid in Adelaide, I dreamed of becoming No. 1 in the world, winning a grand slam and the Davis Cup for Australia.

I was lucky enough to win the Davis Cup in my first year in 1999. I won my first slam at the U.S. Open in 2001 and became world No. 1 later that year. By the age of 20, I'd done it all.

I'm not a guy who needs to read motivation books.

Everyone has to call 'time' at some stage.

That's what you do all the hard work for, to play in situations that put your body through gruelling times. If you're not up to it, pull out.

I'm one injury away from hanging up the racket at any time.

When you do pratikraman after conflict, the conflict is erased. When you give rise to new conflicts, the energies that had arisen will disappear again.

According to the materialist conception of history, the ultimately determining element in history is the production and reproduction of real life.

Maybe, instead of paying so much in tax, the very rich could be incentivised to help their local community and young people who do not have a home.

If we are going to save this country, if we are going to reestablish that belief in God, it's up to us. If we don't do it, who will?

When the country prospers, everyone does. In music and in everything.

The rehearsal time is almost my favourite part of being an actress, particularly if you're working on a play that hasn't been done before.

I've managed to keep my clothes on for everything I've done so far.

I'll start by saying that "Fifty Shades of Grey:" It's like I don't have. an elicit confused relationship to my sexuality. So I don't need a book like that.

I'm not a big drinker and I don't smoke either. I've only been drunk a few times, but I did moon my friend once. I had knickers on! I'll leave the real mooning to the boys.

Money has yet to make anyone rich.
