When I play, I feel like I'm in a theatre, why should I look ugly then, because I'm a tennis-player?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you look at tennis, the girls have become much more attractive; they wear makeup. In my generation, you were a tennis player. It wasn't like you had to look a certain way.
It's that I have a good personality and am a good tennis player.
Masculinity comes from your look, all the way down to your attitude. It's a big part of being a tennis player. Even though tennis is a fairly friendly sport, intimidation is still a big part of it.
As an actor, you have to understand how you are seen and then play with that. Otherwise, my looks are not important.
When I came on the tour, I thought, 'Why don't they treat tennis players the same way they look at football players?' Because I've got news for you: when they are on the pitch, they are not saying, 'Hello, how are you?' out there.
My audiences have given me lots of love as a tennis player. I hope they appreciate my passion for acting.
I have this terrible dark side to my personality, which playing tennis keeps at bay.
Tennis is a psychological sport, you have to keep a clear head. That is why I stopped playing.
I play so young because of my looks.
But I always like to play ugly people who think they're pretty.
