I didn’t start a war. Nobody died.
I’m not a God, I make mistakes.
I haven’t lost a war. No one got killed. I just lost a tennis match.
I don’t really care what the man on the street thinks. I never did anything to please him in the first place, and I’m not going to start now.

Winning is a way of expressing yourself.
Every time you are not practicing someone else is.
Where do you go when you’re the best in the world? What’s next?
I don’t know how many millions of photographs have been taken of me.
I want to be a hero, a small and good kind of hero, even though I know heroes have very short lives.
