Economics has never been a science - and it is even less now than a few years ago.

Golfers are forever working on mechanics. My tennis swing hasn't changed in 10 years.

If Davis Cup was a little bit less or once every two years, I would be more inclined to play. But the way it is now, it is too much tennis for me.

When you retire you want to get as far away as possible from the game for a couple of years.

There was this whole middle time that only Chris Rock came out of, you know, 10 years ago it was Chris and a few other people, but that's about it. Chris is in a class of his own; I don't see another comedian who I put in high regard as him.

A lot of sponsors over the years have left us. They've all come back. But they chose to leave us for a while because of stories we have done about them or their products or their friend's products or whatever.

I did three tours in Vietnam. I guess a total of about almost two years.
