You win any which way you can. You do what you have to do to get by. That's the way it works in any job.

It's about you. If you win, it's you; if you lose, it's you. Black and white. Nowhere to hide.

The downside isn't really injury, fear of injury or the process of fighting back from injury. The downside, the very worst thing in the world, is surgery.

Basically, it's just fatigue, ... I've run out of gas a little bit. I've played a lot this summer, and the body's just telling me I'm fatigued.

I'm really looking forward to getting back and winning some matches but I'm not thinking about the U.S. Open yet, just getting through my first match.

If I stay healthy and I'm playing good tennis I have as good a chance as anybody.

I don't read all the newspapers.

It is a big adjustment but I've always loved that old saying of Jack Nicklaus: 'I retired from golf to go to work.' That sums it up for me.

My biggest problem will be lack of match toughness but I am a positive, optimistic person.

I'm happy in retirement.

When you're young, you don't know what you don't know, so it's easier to get into that magical thing.

True love is usually the most inconvenient kind.

It might be added, too, that it takes something more than preponderance of numbers to win a battle....

I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore there be any kindness I can show or any good thing I can do for any fellow being let me do it now ... as I shall not pass this way again.

I've started collecting taxidermy: I've got a red squirrel, called Steve. I made sure he came with certificates so we know he wasn't just killed for stuffing.

I don't know, maybe I made it up. Anyway, it's an arbo-tree-ist, somebody who knows about trees.

I had a female business partner once. Didn't work.

You won't ever see me being totally sexy on 'Rookie Blue.' It's not right for the character, anyway.

The relationship with a producer and an artist is really special. It's got to be love and respect, amazing mutual respect for each other, because that's what makes a good record.

I just want to be written about as a normal artist.

I've gotta keep life and computers separate, or else I'm gonna go mad.
