My father has a book where, ever since I started playing games... he wrote down the games that I played in. And then, when I did my website, we thought that was a really good idea, that people can keep track of my games.

Sometimes I think it is best if, after a big game, you play another big game.

Money has never won anything. You can spend as much as you want, but you must build a team first.

Managers come and go, and first-team coaches and players can leave suddenly.

My favourite language, actually, is Czech, just because it's so colourful. We have so many combinations, words, and expressions. I have to say there are a lot of things which you can say in Czech, but you cannot really translate, because the meaning would make no sense.

It's normal in a top club that people change.

Arsenal is a team who challenge for the top and definitely match my ambitions and personal motivation.

It was my dream to have an opportunity to become a professional player.

I don't do nervous, really. You always have to respect your opponent, respect the game of football, and be 100 per cent focused.

Football is a wonderful game which can be cruel at times.

Even if you have won it before, you just want to keep winning the Champions League. Every season, the ambition is to win the competition.

Sometimes in the Premier League, you are in a game where you can't play nice football because you just wouldn't win it.

Every summer is important. If you have a bad summer, it can have consequences for the whole season. If you don't get people to rest and to have a very good pre-season, you can start the season chasing.

I've played under different managers, different styles, and most of my career, I was asked to play long.

There is always a lot of pressure at Chelsea, but we are used to this and have to make sure we keep winning games.

I know I could be a goalkeeper coach - I feel I am better suited to be a manager.

It's always better if you have one manager for a long period because then you can build the team.

When you bring in a player with a big reputation for a big fee, and he's coming from a different championship, and it starts badly, then you can be worried - we had an example of that with Andriy Shevchenko.

If you're not right, you can make a mistake that will cost your team-mates a game.

I still like sweets and sometimes treat myself but not often. I try to keep an eye on it, but it's not like I'm desperate to go and eat a whole chocolate cake! I do like a bit of vanilla ice cream, though.

I'm not the sort of person who would want to just lie on the sofa watching TV.

Of course it's one of my goals to win another grand slam. Wimbledon was great - so if it's Wimbledon again, that's fine - but I think I have the game to win the other grand slams as well.

I love to play finals. I love to play on the big stadium.

Living out of a bag, in hotels, packing, unpacking, travelling, the hours of flying, sometimes the credit card doesn't work at the hotel, or the room isn't ready - I'm lucky to have a team around to help me.

Everybody really can beat everyone from the top, so it's really difficult to stay on the top.

When I was younger, I used to think ahead too much, and that would make me lose concentration in the match I was playing.

I have six racquets and usually two pairs of tennis shoes with me. Most of the time, the shoes can last two or three weeks if I'm playing all the week. I'm not the kind of player who slides a lot, so I just need one extra pair in my bag.

In Madrid, the conditions are always better for me. It suits my game: fast clay, high altitude, the balls fly really well.

I can tell you that tennis is a huge motivation for me.

To win a Grand Slam, you have to win seven matches in a row, and it's very different physically and mentally from other tournaments.

When you enter the gates of the All England Club, you can feel the history of tennis.

Quiet is definitely not how I would describe New York, but if I go outside of the front door, I see the beautiful Central Park, so it's a nice place to be. And I have a very quiet room, which helps!

I couldn't imagine myself retiring from a match.

The Connecticut Open is one of my favorite events in the summer, so it feels great to have it confirmed on my calendar. I have a special relationship with the tournament and always feel such strong support when I'm on the court there.

I'm really trying to be relaxed on my days off.

It is for sure a big part of the coach's job to make sure the tennis does not get neglected.

I've always been a person who likes to take care of myself, but there is so much to do behind the scenes, and I love to just focus on the tennis.

My dream is to have a medal from the Olympic Games, and I will do my best to have it.

One thing I always do is listen to my iPod. I listen to whatever is kind of new on the radio, I am always downloading stuff.

Like every normal working person, you get tired and need time out.

I think English is very important for tennis players. To be on the tour, it's much more easier if you speak English. So that's why I knew that I have to improve my English.

Sometimes I put too much pressure on my back.

I don't want to change; I just want to be like everyone else. I'm nothing special.

Maybe sometimes I don't look like that I'm really enjoying being on the court and playing tennis, but inside, I'm really enjoying it.

I think it's a long-time process when you are trying to get fitter and fitter.

I'm not someone who enjoys being recognised too much.

I don't pretend to be any different just because I win tennis matches, so hopefully brands appreciate my approach and my likeability, because it's who I am.

I'm going to try to put less pressure on myself, but I know how easy it is to say that rather than to feel it, but that's how it is.

Obviously, diet is important for an athlete, but I don't have anyone telling me, 'You can eat this, but don't try that.'

I think the U.S. Open just doesn't suit my personality. I'm more of a calm person. There, it's noisy all day, cars are everywhere, and it takes so long to get to the site. I know that those things shouldn't matter when you're playing, but I just find they drain your energy.
