I Am Not Looking To Be Understood

That's Something A Lot Of Athletes Miss - A Lot Of Them Walk Away Too Soon. They Don't Get Everything Out Of Their System. They Have A Lot Of What-ifs When They're Sitting Around Later In Life. I Don't Have That. I Got All That Out Of My System. I Pushed It To The Brink, I Loved It, And When I Walked Away, I'd Had Enough.

I Was Never Part Of The Crowd.

There Was Never Anything I Wanted To Do More Than Play Tennis. Never Once Walked Out There And Thought, 'i Wish I Was Doing Something Else.' Not Once.

Experience Is A Great Advantage. The Problem Is That When You Get The Experience, You're Too Damned Old To Do Anything About It.

It Was Okay For Wayne Gretzky's Dad, For Instance, To Give Him A Hockey Stick, Or Joe Montana's Dad To Give Him A Football, Or Larry Bird's Dad To Give Him A Basketball, But It Wasn't Okay For Gloria Connors To Give Her Son A Tennis Racquet.
