“You have to believe in the long term plan you have but you need the short term goals to motivate and inspire you.”

I am a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.

I definitely feel there’s room for improvement.

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.

Maybe further down the road in my career, in a couple of years when I’m maybe not that fast any more around the court, then maybe it would be good to come to the net a little bit more often.

My favorite shot is always gonna be the forehand. It used to always be my favorite shot when I was young, so it’s the one I’ve won all the points with.

I feel a bit awkward playing in a red shirt out at Wimbledon. But I don’t dislike it.

I enjoyed the position I was in as a tennis player. I was to blame when I lost. I was to blame when I won. And I really like that, because I played soccer a lot too, and I couldn’t stand it when I had to blame it on the goalkeeper.

Mentally, I’m not ever going to go away.

Early in my career, I struggled with consistency, but I couldn’t get more consistent than this year.

I have two lives, and all the problems I might have, I feel like I drop them once I step on to the match court.

When you’re good at something, make that everything

It doesn’t need to be the same every day, doesn’t need to be the same shower I use, the same restaurant I go to, the same hour I go to sleep. I’ve always been very flexible. I don’t care if I practice at nine in the morning or 10 P.M.

I would so like to be Lenny Kravitz.

Being a husband is for me as big a priority as being a father.

I did all the right things in so many tournaments. But like I said, sometimes in sports it just goes the other way. Maybe you’ve already won so much that it evens it out a bit sometimes. I don’t know.

I definitely need to use my chances when they come because definitely there wont be many.

It wasn’t enough fading under surfaces, below waves, swollen pufferfish retracting this inflated love that not even you could believe in.

So long as we believe in our heart of hearts that our capacity is limited and we grow anxious and unhappy, we are lacking in faith. One who truly trusts in God has no right to be anxious about anything.

I don’t believe in luck. I believe in making things happen.

I do not know much about God and prayer, but I have come to believe over the last twenty-five years, that there’s something to be said about keeping prayer simple. Help, Thanks, Wow.

Discipline is the only sure way I know to convince people to believe in themselves

You just have to connect with people who believe in your vision and who will work with you and advance your cause.

He who thinks with difficulty believes with alacrity. A fool is a natural proselyte, but he must be caught young, for his convictions, unlike those of the wise, harden with age.

In our imaginations we believe that love is apart from us. Actually there is nothing but love, once we are ready to accept it. When you truly find love, you find yourself.
