If I had a rain prayer or a rain dance I could do, I would do it.
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.
Winning is about taking your opponent's heart out and squeezing it until all the blood has come out, even the very last drop. There are no prizes for a funny loser.
We are hungry for things that have touched human hands.
The unattended garden will soon be overrun with weeds; the heart that fails to cultivate truth and root out error will shortly be a theological wilderness.
Hit them fast, hit them hard, and hit them a lot.
I love different folks.
