I am one of the best in the world, and it's a position I should get used to being in.

I have been a sports fan my whole life. To be able to talk about sports in an intelligent, journalistic fashion and to do things of a serious nature is a dream job.

The responsibility I have is a great thing, from helping tennis grow in Canada, but also in the future, being able to do stuff through my foundation, helping kids, and helping everyone I can, and really trying to make a difference. It would be a shame to be in the spotlight, have a voice and not do much with it.

This year my role is clear: I am a coach, a coach to sportsmen.

I contribute my best in my sport and I also have a ton of respect for myself and my family.

I've been involved in sport right through my life.

I'm very lucky to live my life through a sport that I love. I'm in a very privileged position that my work is my hobby.

I think the athletes respond well to me because I have been successful.

I'm really clear about what my life mission is now. There's no more depression or lethargy, and I feel like I've returned to the athlete I once was. I'm integrating all the parts of me - jock, musician, writer, poet, philosopher - and becoming stronger as a result.
