When you do something best in life, you don't really want to give that up - and for me it's tennis.

You always want to win. That is why you play tennis, because you love the sport and try to be the best you can at it.

To handle that stardom, the red carpets, the photo shoots, people all of a sudden recognizing you and following you in everyday life, it's a bit weird. It's strange, and it can have funny effects on you in terms of do you like it or don't you like it. Some people run away from it, some people embrace it; I found a good middle ground.

I'm a very positive thinker, and I think that is what helps me the most in difficult moments.

Sometimes you have to accept that a guy played better on the day than you.

We can't always agree on everything.

The vitality of a new movement in Art must be gauged by the fury it arouses.

There is nothing new in art except talent.

Once an object has been incorporated in a picture it accepts a new destiny.

Art is about building a new foundation, not just laying something on top of what's already there.

You don't have to compose a masterpiece every time, but I think the challenge of art is always searching for something different, searching for a new sensitivity, a new perspective, a new vision.

It's not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it. Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone.
