"I believe there's only one autobiography you can do."

Autobiography

"What is the single most important quality in a tennis champion? I would have to say desire, staying in there and winning matches when you are not playing that well."

Quality

"If, in a few months, I'm only number 8 or number 10 in the world, I'll have to look at what off-the-court work I can do. I will need to do something if I want to be number 1."

Work

"Well I think that's probably one of a few, where I grew up in the City of New York, it's got a lot of energy, my parents are Irish-American so there was a bit of yelling going on in my house but it seemed normal."

Energy

Travel

Strategy

"I'd like to think I could have and should have won more, but that's not the point. And I was at the point where I was playing great tennis in the mid 80s - the type of tennis people hadn't seen before - and I was very proud of that."
