I was raised by two women, and that laid the groundwork for the way I treat 'em: with the utmost respect and admiration.

The trouble with experience is that by the time you have it you are too old to take advantage of it.

When you're hot, anything can happen.

But why should I read what somebody else thinks of my life when I know the real story?

I've been kicked in the teeth more times in tennis than the law ought to allow.

I was never part of the crowd.

The minute you think you know everything about tennis is the minute your game starts going down the tubes.

I don't go out there to love my enemy. I go out there to squash him.

I hate to lose more than I love to win.

There is only one number one. It is a lonely spot but it has got the best view of all.

Tennis was never work for me, tennis was fun. And the tougher the battle and the longer the match, the more fun I had.

I am not looking to be understood or liked. Like me or not, I don't care. I am an outsider, that is the way I was brought up.

What works for the person you're imitating may not work for you.

I never lost a tennis match, I just ran out of time

Greatest thing in life: Winning a tennis match. Second greatest thing in life: Losing a tennis match

I hate to lose more than I like to win. I hate to see the happiness on their faces when they beat me!

Fights don't solve matters, they just make things worse.

Remember not all Germans were Nazis.

Ruining is a gift .. it's the way of changing.
