When I think of the Olympics I only think of good things. I think of what a great event it is and what it has done for me and my career, and changed my personal life, too.
A man who wins, is a man who thinks he can.
Sometimes I am a different character in different languages. I have different enjoyment from them. Sometimes different answers come out of me. Like, I didnt even know that about me. I get to know myself through different languages, actually.
When I won in 2003, never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would win Wimbledon and have my kids seeing me lift the trophy, so this is pretty surreal. And yeah, I was almost shocked in the moment that it all came together so nicely.
I don't need to come back to Wimbledon every year because I can't live without it. I'd be totally cool without tennis.
The serve, I think, is the most difficult, you know, in terms of coordination, because you got the two arms going, and you got to toss it up at the right time so.
I definitely need to use my chances when they come because definitely there wont be many.
What I think I've been able to do well over the years is play with pain, play with problems, play in all sorts of conditions.
I can't stay No. 1 for fifty years, you know. We'll see what happens.
Simple version for me is, umm, started bad and finished bad basically...
Sometimes you have to accept that a guy played better on the day than you.
I would so like to be Lenny Kravitz.
Being a husband is for me as big a priority as being a father.
I always knew I had something special.
