I've thrown away lots of my old diaries - you never know who might get their hands on them. But I have kept a few notes on the good old days.

You can have a certain arrogance, and I think that's fine, but what you should never lose is the respect for the others.

My big dream was to work as a photographer for 'National Geographic.'

I never look back, I look forward.

I suppose it's amazing how quick life goes by when you have children.

I knew that maybe I couldn't be playing again, but I just wanted to get in physical shape.

The tennis wasn't really very much on my mind, so it wasn't like I was thinking about it all the time.

I still take it seriously, but once I go out there I think I've got more relaxed and I think it shows.

I appreciate very much being injury-free.

I think it takes people to get to know you and the recognition comes over time.
