Quote

I don't have time to be depressed.

At that time, I feel sad, and I feel no one knows how hard I work and how many tears. They only know the score. At that time, I feel very lonely because no one understands since they haven't been world No. 1 before.

This might sound masochistic or narcissistic, I don't know, but when I'm not playing the game, the validations I feel about life are always through the hardships. I relate more to sadness, in a lot of ways, when I'm not playing.

I'm not an easily depressed person.

I have a tremendous battle with melancholy and depression.

I am not a depressive person at all.

I'm a pretty light and light-spirited person; I'm not a depressed guy.

You've got to be happy when you play a sad character; otherwise, you just get depressed. Make your real life as fun as possible.

There's great sadness and life doesn't work out like you would want, on a lot of levels, but there's no need to feel all alone. This happens to everybody, so there's no self-pity. This is the ride that humans are on, and all of it is essential for our natural part of it.
