My mother said I would have more chances to become a tennis player than a football player.
Me, I don't need money.
You're playing or you're not playing. If you're playing, so just shut up and play.
Five sets is a kind of lottery. Anything can happen.
I give up on spending time on these courts; I give up on practicing before the tournament I hate. I hate this.
You can find flaws in Agassi and Sampras, but Federer has none.
New York is a fantastic city.
I definitely want to get out of tennis and try something completely different.
It was really impossible to break through in Russia. We couldn't buy any balls. We really didn't have any courts, no rackets, nothing. And no people to practice with.
I'm not a materialistic person.
I've realized I can't waste any moment being unhappy.
You have to wake up and you have to run if you want to survive.
There's a lot of things in life that we don't know why they're coming exactly at this moment.
I could be the best looking guy in the Duma, but that's only because all the other guys are over 60.
If you're losing, just be a man; be a man and lose as a man.
It's too many questions about what I'm going to do, why I'm retiring, and this and that. So I answer the same question, I don't know, a thousand times.
I'm different than another person who wants to lay back and do nothing for rest of the life and talk nonsense on ESPN... I will not do that. I want to achieve something else.
Whenever I am losing, it's like, 'It's his fault'. And whenever I'm winning it's like, 'That's us'. That's the team, the people.
There is no such thing as a perfect player; it doesn't exist.
I can improve it a little bit. But it's my head, it's the way I am. So at the end of the day, I will be who I am and I will win how much I can win.
