Andy Murray

A lot of times, the press guys ask why I take an hour and a half to come to the interview room, but if you don't do the massage and the ice baths and the stretching and the cooling down and the eating, and your opponent is doing that stuff, they already have an advantage.

My fitness trainer's English, my physio's English, some of my friends are English. I don't have a problem with English people at all.

It's easy to start over-thinking things and over-analysing things.

You can't focus on other people's careers. Everybody is different.

Getting married is great, and I feel really good away from the court, and my private life and stuff is good. But you still need to train and work hard. Like, I didn't go on a honeymoon after we got married; I went to Barcelona and trained for 10 days to get ready for the clay-court season. It's been good, but you still have to put the work in.

When a lot of things are going the wrong way for a country, for a people, when you can't really think of anything worse than a war, you always try to take life on the brighter side and that's how I grew up with my parents.

When I'm training in December, I have to eat like 6,000 calories a day to maintain my weight. It's a bit tiring.

One day for dinner I'll have fish, then the next day chicken, and then I'll have steak. I just try to mix it up all the time. I don't eat the same thing every day.

Boxers risk a lot in the ring. That's one of the things that attracts me to it. You want to see a knockout but I also really don't want to see people get hurt. It's this constant dilemma when I'm watching boxing. The only times I get nervous is watching a really big fight or when my brother is playing. I get to the stage where I'm actually shaking.

I've realised over the years I play my best when I have time to prepare for each tournament as best as possible.

Like most guys, I've always liked watches. I can always check the time on my phone, but having a watch is so much better.

Sometimes you're looking to play perfect tennis but it's not going to happen all the time and you have to accept it.
