You Pay A Price For

Of All My Achievements In Tennis, I'm Probably As Proud Of My Record On Clay Courts As Any Of My Wimbledon, U.s. Open Or French Singles Titles.

Ninety Percent Of My Game Is Mental. It's My Concentration That Has Gotten Me This Far.

In Tennis, At The End Of The Day You're A Winner Or A Loser. You Know Exactly Where You Stand... I Don't Need That Anymore. I Don't Need My Happiness, My Well-being, To Be Based On Winning And Losing.

Not Every Child Is Cut Out For An Individual Sport.

When I Was In Grade School And We Had To Write Papers About What We Wanted To Be When We Grew Up, I Wanted To Be A Social Worker Or A Missionary Or A Teacher... Then I Got Involved With Tennis, And Everything Was Just Me, Me, Me. I Was Totally Selfish And Thought About Myself And Nobody Else, Because If You Let Up For One Minute, Someone Was Going To Come Along And Beat You. I Really Wouldn't Let Anyone Or Any Slice Of Happiness Enter... I Didn't Like The Characteristics That It Took To Become A Champion.
