You have to find it. No one else can find it for you.

If you're afraid of losing, then you daren't win.

My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match.

He [Jimmy Connors] has one weakness. He can never say his opponent played well. That's why it feels good to beat him and that's why other players would rather beat him than any other player.

I have a great family, great kids. I have practically everything, you know? Sometimes I have to pinch myself. It's really true: Life starts at 50.

The ball is round, the game is long.

I wanted to win, even in practice.

On Rafael Nadal: Every point he plays is like match point. That's why he's the champion right now.

When I retired from tennis I wanted to do other things with my life.

It's tough when you're No. 1. You don't have any private life, you can't even walk anywhere. I think that was one reason why I lost my motivation to play tennis.

I had a great tennis career. I have no regrets. But to find peace with yourself, and to finally be with your family - I'm probably the happiest guy in the world.

Step by step Moment by moment We live through Another day

Something I keep coming back to in my music is the tension between two extremes: healing and chaos, hope and anxiety - these big themes are inside us, flickering, all day.

Journalism is not a profession, but a mission.

I get pretty impatient with people who are able-bodied but are somehow paralyzed for other reasons.

As shines the moon amid the lesser fires.

Enjoyment is an incredible energizer to the human spirit.

I'm an old man of 73, and I've been around a long time. If I don't know something by now, I probably never will.

Which is probably the reason why I work exclusively in black and white... to highlight that contrast.

I see no reason why I should not live on indefinitely just as I have done, and on the whole I am more comfortable here than in Purgatory, a place that I imagine to be like the suburbs of London.

There's no attempt to manipulate the audience. We made our choice at the start.
