When you leave a big club and go on loan to a small club in Holland it is not easy. But I am a footballer and I have to be professional about my job.

Vidic was a great player and one of the players where I look to be similar because he had a great career.

I think throughout your whole career a player can improve.

It is sometimes better to stay with the same team... for stability.

I wasn't good at the sciences; I wasn't a good enough athlete. The only thing I could do was mow lawns. So I thought that writing or teaching was what I wanted to do.

It's just nice to see people enthusiastic about their tennis and want to learn and improve - for me that's the most important thing - I still love my tennis.

I think I'm a crossover athlete to get the sport into the mainstream media.

The day you decide to pursue your dreams, don't forget that this is a game you don't enter to compete, but to win. And there will always be someone booing you in the stands, and everything you accomplish could be jeered and hissed at. This is a game between two that you have to win for the people who came to watch you be triumphant.
