Jim Courier
America has an interesting global role, don't we? It certainly seems to be changing. Our government right now has a softer hand than we've had in the past, but I still think that we're the global behemoth.
Jim Courier
Trophies separate the winners from losers, and life is about winning and losing. Go into business and you see. You're competing every day.

The airplane has had a big impact on my life.
Jim Courier
I think there's no reason the Davis Cup couldn't be as powerful and popular and profitable as any of the four majors are today, given some changes.
Jim Courier
