I don't know that I've ever been someone who's interested in existing on tour. I have a lot of interests and a lot of other things that excite me.

I think I have a lot of room for improvement. My serve is okay, but I need to work on a lot of things: return, transition game, backhand.

I'm gonna have to start winning some of the matches to call it a rivalry!

Having two older brothers is a healthy reminder that you're always closer to the bottom than you are to the top.

I don't care when people use the term 'one-Slam wonder' with me.

I'm just glad to see that Pete (Sampras) shut everyone up last year. That was satisfying. You can't bag on guys like Pete or Tiger (Woods) or Michael Jordan. They can play as long as they want, they can do whatever they want. Nobody should be able to tell them differently.

I've become better at the net. I've got a 135 mph serve so I'd be stupid not to follow that in. Overall I'm a better player than I was last year.

I don't really rate press conferences. It's not as though I leave the room fist-pumping my way down the corridor after a good one.

Almost everybody's here doing the same thing. Who am I to come up with an excuse when there's 64 other players here doing the same thing? 63 others, sorry.

I try not to take myself too seriously. I like to have a good time.

I've pretty much been portrayed as every style thing you can be. After Wimbledon you are Andy Everyman, who everybody is rooting for. I think the meat and potatoes of who I am hasn't been covered yet.

I used to, like, hit for a half hour and then go eat Cheetos the rest of the day, come out and drill forehands. Now I'm really trying to make it happen, being professional, really going for it, and I miss my Cheetos.

I think I've always had a decent perspective on wins and losses on the tennis court.

I definitely think the European weather has more of a factor than the European clay. I think the European weather changes from week to week, I mean, last year it was sunny and hot and this week it's kind of playing tricks on us a little bit. I definitely think that is a factor.

It's pretty high up there on the list. Being able to return a serve at that speed is one of the biggest things that separates the professionals from the recreational players.

I'm the most successful bad player ever.

I'm not the savior of men's tennis in America. I'm just a kid trying to win a few matches.

I used to hear a lot that all I could do was hit a serve, I couldn't volley, I can't hit a backhand, I don't return well, and then people would turn round and tell me I'm underachieving.

It seems with every match I win, I get better-looking to other people.

I got to play in a crowd, play in Wimbledon finals, be the guy on a Davis Cup team for a while. Those are opportunities not a lot of people get.

My backhand is definitely a lot more solid and consistent. There were times when I couldn't hit it into the ocean.
