I'm 56 years old. I like to get out on the court. I continue to try to play the best I can. Obviously, I'm nowhere near where I was when half this age. But I can still hit a pretty decent ball.
John McEnroe
If you watch a guy go out on court and have a meltdown, you're not going to think, 'Oh my God, now I'm screwed.' Or you're not going to think, 'The umpire's going to give him calls because he's just told him he's an idiot or the pits of the world.'
I can tell you from experience that when you get that pent-up and crazed, it can be distracting.
I remember when I was younger taking more pride in Wimbledon than the French. That and the U.S. Open - they were the ones I wanted to win.
I'm going to vote for Obama. I'm going for the change.
I would have thought that a woman would have become president before a black man.
When I was 25, if you'd have said I was going to be a commentator, that would seem like, 'Oh, my God. That's a huge step down.'
I won't admit to having a poster of Borg on my bedroom door. But I certainly found him to be someone who got me way more into tennis.
As I got older and started moving up the ranking, the matches got more important, and my emotions ratcheted up. I guess I hid my real feelings behind the anger.
Well I think that's probably one of a few, where I grew up in the City of New York, it's got a lot of energy, my parents are Irish-American so there was a bit of yelling going on in my house but it seemed normal.
But these guys learn so fast now, they sort of soak up the information, they're fearless. Those are the guys who learn from their mistakes and come back strong the next time.
With commentating, I've had a chance to show the humorous side of my personality that I didn't use on the court. It's fun, and I don't take myself too seriously. I have good broadcast teams with me, but I'm not a huge stats guy. I think they post the numbers too quickly, and I'd rather let the match play out a bit first.
Maybe I should have played two more Australians and two less Davis Cups? I could have had more majors and still have three Davis Cups when most people don't have one.
The greatest compliment I ever got was when people called me an artist, and I understand that solo aspect of being an artist, when you're in there by yourself, trying to do something great, and people who don't even know you can come up and just dump on you.
I've seen tennis clubs close in Manhattan and garages put up in their place, and I'd sure like to be part of reversing that trend.
There's a certain beauty and majesty to Wimbledon. The elegance, the way the grass looks on TV.
We should reach out to people to try to go after the fans the way other sports do. Because we can't just depend on the fact that it is a great game.
You can't give away points and games against someone like Murray. You're not going to make it to the top with that kind of effort.
It seems like the richer you are, the more chance you have of paying less tax.
If Roger stopped right now and never won another match, to me he'd already be one of the greatest players to ever play the game. To me, he's the greatest all around talent that I've ever seen.
I can barely remember what I was like 36 years ago when I was 21 years old.
Nadal is one of the great champions - a class act.
You're asking too much of the women. They shouldn't be playing as many events as men. If tennis is best served by women playing events with men, so be it.
I used to take pride if my kids were playing basketball, and I'd be there, and I wouldn't say anything. People were obviously expecting me to yell and scream at the ref and at them and everything. I wouldn't say anything.
Things slow down, the ball seems a lot bigger and you feel like you have more time. Everything computes - you have options, but you always take the right one.
I was always fighting the establishment, trying to run through brick walls.
The perception is I didn't get along with umpires, obviously, and I didn't, on the court. But off the court, we had a good vibe.
Tennis was a white, upper-class sport, and I wanted it to be treated like other sports were.
Why don't they go back to wood racquets? Then we would see the best tennis to be played.
I'm sure a lot of players say it, but winning is almost so you don't lose. The thrill of winning is not as great as the pain of losing.
There's always a concern when you play the week before a major. That's not the easiest time for a scheduler or a promoter, I would think.
If you look at the top 100 players, you would see that the great majority of them have had at least a couple of surgeries. That tells me that we have to protect the players.
Kyrgios has got to look in the mirror if he wants to become a top player and win Grand Slams.
I was always taught that you needed to be intense and never lose your focus.
If people do things without thinking them through, that rubs me up the wrong way.
The good part of having six kids is, there's always one who wants to hug you and say, 'Daddy, I love you.'
I thought doubles was a good way for me to practice and get some reps in - I didn't like to train in the gym as much as players these days.
One of the things I respected about Connors was that one second he would be spewing a four-letter word, the next second he would do something that had people falling off the aisles. Yet he never seemed to lose his concentration.

I would put tiebreakers in the fifth set, no question about it.
Roland Garros is the only one of the four majors that is 15 days, and that is too long.
If you yell at your box, I'm not really sure it's something where it should be a penalty. It seems like you hurt yourself.

I'm generally happy, although my kids and wife may sometimes argue with that.
I can't speak for other people, but I still hate losing. When I did lose, I found it easier to yell than to cry. Guys aren't supposed to cry, are they?
