I am independent! I can live alone and I love to work.
I loved Wimbledon and what it meant, but the surface felt uncomfortable. I just didn't like it, I was a hard-court guy, a Californian kid.
The only person that I have met, that I have ever been in awe of, is Eddie Vedder.
The difference of great players is at a certain point in a match they raise their level of play and maintain it. Lesser players play great for a set, but then less.
I never wanted to be the great guy or the colorful guy or the interesting guy. I wanted to be the guy who won titles.
I made it look so easy on court all those years. No one realized how hard I had to work. No one realized how much I had to put into it. They underestimated my intensity.
I let my racket do the talking. That's what I am all about, really. I just go out and win tennis matches.
You know, NATO as a military alliance has something called Article 5, and basically it says this: An attack on one is an attack on all. And you know the only time it's ever been invoked? After 911, when the 28 nations of NATO said that they would go to Afghanistan with us to fight terrorism, something that they still are doing by our side.
If you're not part of that club, as I certainly am not, you are not presidential.
Style is the instrument you can pick back up when you want to regain some of the confidence you've lost.
The best way to win is to not need to.
