I was very competitive. I hated losing. No matter what, I had to win.

I wish I could have won a lot more tournaments, but I got injured every time I played well.

I'm not a materialistic person.

I've had a lot of luck. If I didn't I'd be washing bottles in Russia.

I've had good times and bad times. That's me. That's how I am.

I've realized I can't waste any moment being unhappy.

It is very hard for me to switch from clay to grass.

Me, I don't need money.

My mother said I would have more chances to become a tennis player than a football player.

New York is a fantastic city.

No matter what happens, tennis is still tennis: You can see a lot of great matches, a lot of new people.

One of the most important things, actually, when you're playing on grass, is to move.

Probably I'll not be so successful if I will keep everything in myself inside of me.

There is no such thing as a perfect player; it doesn't exist.

There wasn't a rich father or rich family that paid for everything that I have right now, so I worked my way.

There's a lot of things in life that we don't know why they're coming exactly at this moment.

We live because of the dreams.

Whenever I am losing, it's like, 'It's his fault'. And whenever I'm winning it's like, 'That's us'. That's the team, the people.

You can find flaws in Agassi and Sampras, but Federer has none.

You cannot change me; this is the way I am.
