On money: "When I look at a dollar note I only see a picture of George Washington on a piece of paper. Money is only money. It makes life easier but I don't feel sexy or might because of that."
On stardom: "I am not a singer or a rock star. Tennis is tennis. If you want to see a clown, go to the circus."
On women: "There is nothing so sexy as a woman who is angry. Perhaps she is even throwing things."
On technique: "Sometimes you hit the ball with your eyes closed. Sometimes it works."
On distractions: "Sometimes during a match I think about dinner, my car, playing golf. Sometimes I think about sex. But these thoughts mustn't get out of control otherwise the point, the set, the match is lost very fast."
On breaking rackets: "You can destroy one racket. You can destroy a chair. But you can't destroy a racket and a chair in the same match. There has to be a limit. Otherwise this is the tennis of a sick person."
