You're playing or you're not playing. If you're playing, so just shut up and play.
I wish I could have won a lot more tournaments, but I got injured every time I played well.
I've realized I can't waste any moment being unhappy.
All in all, I think Kazan is Russia's sportiest city after Moscow, leaving all the others far behind.
I'm different than another person who wants to lay back and do nothing for rest of the life and talk nonsense on ESPN... I will not do that. I want to achieve something else.
I achieved what I want to achieve and I want to continue doing something else.
I can improve it a little bit. But it's my head, it's the way I am. So at the end of the day, I will be who I am and I will win how much I can win.
I just want to make everyone happy.
I could be the best looking guy in the Duma, but that's only because all the other guys are over 60.
I definitely want to get out of tennis and try something completely different.
Me, I don't need money.
I try to do my best to have fun off the court.
You cannot take all the chances you get.
I was very competitive. I hated losing. No matter what, I had to win.
