“So that's when I saw the DNA model for the first time, in the Cavendish, and that's when I saw that this was it. And in a flash you just knew that this was very fundamental.”

“I think my family is one of the most important things in my life because they are the people I provide for and the people that believe in me the most.”

“Being an individual takes effort. Most people are pretty lazy. And that's OK! I mean, there are more important things than fashion. If it's going to stress you out to have a sense of style, don't do it. The important thing is to be comfortable so you can get on with your life.”

“I think the tennis is only a game. You can lose. You can win. After that? In life, there are much more important things than tennis.”
