I don't think there is any player who has everything coming easy, you know?

Brisbane is my favourite tournament... I have great memories here and always like to start the year here.

Normally, my goal is to get past the first round, because that's the hardest.

I have a different game than most of the players.

This is part of the involuntary bargain we make with the world just by being alive. We get to experiences the splendor of nature, the beauty of art, the balm of love and the sheer joy of existence, always with the knowledge that illness, injury, natural disaster, or pure evil can end it in an instant for ourselves or someone we love.

I'm happy that I have brought laughter because I have been shown by many the value of it in so many lives, in so many ways.

I've had an absolutely charmed life in every aspect of it. I do for my job what I would do for a hobby if it wasn't my job. Half the secret of happiness, I'm ecstatically happily married with three great kids, you know. It's been a blessed life.

Love is cheering and sharing and compassion and giving and receiving. Love is an action thing more than a word thing, that brings comfort or joy or relief to anyone or anything.
