Everybody has their story - at some point you have to say, 'This is who I am: Now it's up to me to become what I want to be.'
Tennis has to become everything to you if you're going to make it to the top. You have to live it.
That's the key to success, isn't it? It has to be fun.
What I put in the stock market, I don't have to touch in my lifetime. I want to live off my bonds. I want to be that safe.
You will never have great tennis champions from England because of the cold and dark, but most of all because people only care about the sport for two weeks a year, and then they're on to something else. There's just not a great love of the sport there.
