"I don't play any tournaments to come second best."
"As a child I was a good boy. Even if I wasn't playing tennis I don't think I'd have done things like smoking or getting drunk. I'm lucky I never liked the taste of alcohol - I know, I'm Scottish so what's wrong with me? - but I never even liked the smell of the stuff. It's the same with smoking, it never appealed to me. I guess I missed out on my Kevin-The-Teenager phase."

"It's not the end of the world to lose."
"In tennis, it is not the opponent you fear, it is the failure itself, knowing how near you were but just out of reach."
"I used to think that losing made you more hungry and determined but after my success at the Olympics and the U.S. Open I realise that winning is the biggest motivation."
"You have to go into each match believing you can beat all of the players."
"Give it everything you've got. Leave nothing out there."
