I'm not going to go run and hide because I'm catching some heat. I'm not going to stay at home and pout.

One of the cool things I remember is the Swiss people brought their big cowbells.

I kind of know youre only as good as your last result.

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.

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

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.

Most players who play tennis love the game. But I think you also have to respect it. You want to do everything you can in your power to do your best. And for me, I know I get insane guilt if I go home at the end of the day and don't feel I've done everything I can. If I know I could have done something better, I have this uneasy feeling.

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 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.

My aggression out there is my weapon. I think it's more letting them know that I'm not going to let them get away with something, and I'm not just going to kind of poke it back and be content to stay in rallies.

The whole point of team competition is to pick your teammates up.

The only pressure I feel is what I put on myself.

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

He [Vince Spadea] was about as down and out as you could see from a Top 20 player. Then to claw his way back through the minor leagues and do it the hard way where he wasn't young, wasn't getting wildcards, wasn't getting any help. I guess he decided he was just going to do it.

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 want everyone to look back and think that I was awesome.

I enjoy hitting tennis balls. I haven't lost any of the innocent parts of tennis. I just do it in front of less people.

Is that the longest fifth set ever? It was? So, no, I've never played one longer than that!

Why would I get a wild card into an American tournament, (as the) top-ranked American? Why would that happen? That makes too much sense. Maybe I should play more Davis Cup, that's the story. Oh wait, I do.
