You're going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and everything you don't do. You don't get to choose to not pay a price. You get to choose which poison you're going to take.

I’ve been making a list of the things they don’t teach you at school. They don’t teach you how to love somebody. They don’t teach you how to be famous. They don’t teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don’t teach you how to walk away from someone you don’t love any longer. They don’t teach you how to know what’s going on in someone else’s mind. They don’t teach you what to say to someone who’s dying. They don’t teach you anything worth knowing.

Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you'll start to see a big difference in your life.

Art is my life and my life is art.

The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.

Tennis uses the language of life. Advantage, service, fault, break, love - the basic elements of tennis are those of everyday existence, because every match is a life in miniature.

I continuously go further and further learning about my own limitations, my body limitations, psychological limitations. It's a way of life for me.

In life, you can blame a lot of people and you can wallow in self-pity, or you can pick yourself up and say, 'Listen, I have to be responsible for myself.'

Listen—are you breathing just a little, and calling it a life?

Instructions for living a life. Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.
