[at the theatre] Tony: What the bloody hell are you doing here? Michael (Aged 25): I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Gary Poulson: What are you deeing man? This is hand to hand combat not a bloody tea dance!
Mrs. Wilkinson: Right, Mr. Braithwaite, "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow". [to herself] Mrs. Wilkinson: Fat chance!
I won two ITF tournaments in Japan in two weeks. I had to qualify for both of them, which meant that I won 16 matches in 15 days.
I think I have handled things pretty well last year and this. What I have to do now is try do it even better.
Everybody always talks about the pressure of playing at Wimbledon, how tough it is, but the people watching make it so much easier to play.
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.
I think if I believe in something strongly enough, I'm pretty outspoken about it.
I got to play in a crowd, play in Wimbledon finals, be the guy on a Davis Cup team for a while. Those are opportunities not a lot of people get.
The selfish thing about an athlete is you always look at the side of things where you say I could've done that better.
I don't have much interest in being on a senior tour. I don't think I retired so that I could be on tour.
I don't know that I've ever been someone who's interested in existing on tour. I have a lot of interests and a lot of other things that excite me.
It's not easy to part with the trophies. However, I do need to have some long-term financial security for those close to me.
Basically I started playing double handed on both my forehand and backhand side because my first racket was very heavy.
I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
Politics goes in one ear and out the other. I don't even know the president's name for sure. That's how stupid I am.
I think things changed as a result of a certain perception of our politics. When we went through our zealous, self-righteous period it didn't exactly win us any friends.
Clinton and Obama practice this politics known quaintly as the Richard Speck strategy: if you cannot take on everyone in the room at once, take them out of the room one at a time.
We were raised with that discussion about violence and non-violence, and we all pretty much came up on the side of non-violence. That became my foundation with politics and my livelihood.
I was raised to speak out about politics and the world around me. I would do it whether I was in the public or not. It is the way I was taught. The American way.
The writing is all done, so it's all about verbalizing everything from point A to point B, and certainly there's a bit of politics involved, so it's a different thing.
