I go to my favourite tournament, I talk about my favourite sport and it's just a great month of parading.
I go to London, my favourite city in the world, and I feel at home.
I don't really care what the man on the street thinks. I never did anything to please him in the first place, and I'm not going to start now.
I can't change history, I don't want to change history. I can only change the future. I'm working on that.
I believed in raising my children as I had been raised.
I believe that everything in life happens for a reason.
A few years after my first son was born, he wanted to know how we chose his name, so I began reading him the story of Noah's Ark.
How do you build a relationship when you've hardly shared a word but suddenly share a child? How do you love a daughter you don't see for nearly two years? When does she become your daughter? How does she become your daughter?
Girls had never been important. I'd had a girlfriend or two and had liked them a lot but it wasn't love, because my first love was tennis.
Does anyone ask their parents how they are conceived?
An autobiography is not about pictures; it's about the stories; it's about honesty and as much truth as you can tell without coming too close to other people's privacy.
I lost in the second round of the French Open and had 10 days off. I went to the Hard Rock Cafe. It was exciting to be away from my parents, to stay in a hotel. Hotels at 17 meant freedom.
The eyes of some of the fans at Davis Cup matches scare me. There's no light in them. Fixed emotions. Blind worship. Horror. It makes me think of what happened to us long ago.
It's silly to say it about a tennis player, but I'm an unbelievable hero in Germany. And Germany needs heroes more than any place.
I love the winning, I can take the losing, but most of all I Love to play.
