I started to travel like this at the age of 15 so for me, it's normal. Some days you get tired and you feel, 'I want to stay at home a little bit more,' but it's only the moment.

I normally listen to Spanish music - well, Latin music. I like a lot of singers.

I have the same bedroom I've always had. It's clean and tidy when I get home, and after two or three days it gets messy and my mother nags me.

I am lucky because my family are comfortably off. My father has his own glass business.

I am decidedly unfriendly during a golf game, from the first hole to the last.

My parents' divorce made an important change in my life. It affected me. After that, when I can't play Wimbledon, it was tough. For one month I was outside the world.

Hard courts are very negative for the body. I know the sport is a business and creating these courts is easier than clay or grass, but I am 100 per cent sure it is wrong.

No one is perfect. Everybody does stupid things.

In my humble opinion, change is stupid.

In Majorca, I can be myself. I go to the supermarket and the cinema, and I am just Rafa. Everyone knows me, and it is no big deal. I can go all day - no photographs.

I have lived my whole life with high intensity.

I appreciate a lot in this life; the things you cannot buy. Life is only once.

I am very lucky because when I come back home, I have a completely normal life. I can relax, playing golf, fishing - doing what I want. I know when I finish a tournament, I am going to relax at home.

I still take advice from my mum on what clothes look good on me. I used to listen to her a lot more, but I've started to choose my own things from time to time.

My goal is to improve my game, stay healthy and be competitive. If I have that, I know I can be able to win tournaments, which in the end is what it counts.

For me, it is important to win titles and for that I need to work hard, stay healthy and be able to compete. The rest, I always say, it comes.

I am happy with being a tennis player and the choice I took when I was 12. But clearly, if I wouldn't have been a tennis player, I would have loved to be a soccer player. But again, I am happy with the choice I made.

I'm lucky enough to do what I like for work - not everyone's that fortunate.

To be a friend means that they are always there, for the good or the bad.

I live where I would like to live. I live in Majorca, Spain, and I am not sure there are better places.

My serve can get better, for sure. It's not just about serving bombs, but positioning, variation in speed, in spin.

I am not the most courageous guy in the world outside of the court.

In tennis, because of the way it's scored, I don't think that scoring one point out of luck is ever decisive in winning. But, of course, it depends on the moment.

I think when you compete every week, when you play under pressure daily, you find your rituals to be 100 percent focused on what you're doing.

Every year I go to Broadway to see a musical - I like the music. I saw 'Mamma Mia;' I saw 'Les Miserables;' I saw 'Phantom of the Opera' like six, seven times.

I am a guy who likes to do what I am doing with passion, whether it's a soccer match with friends or golf.

Tennis is a hard sport. There is a lot of competition all year and you play alone.

My parents' divorce made an important change in my life. It affected me.

It's more a tennis problem than a mental problem. The transition is difficult. It depends how much time you have. Playing on grass can sometimes be a bit of a lottery.

I just was in the second round. That's painful, because always is tough to lose, but well, that's sport. You win, you lose.

Last four months were great for me, was probably one of the best four months of my career, playing unbelievable in the clay court season.

That's painful always to lose.

The thing, when you're down two sets to love, is to stay calm, even though it's hard, because people are freaking out, people are worried for you.

The family is very important. They make me feel good always because if I won, when I started to be famous, the relationship never changed with my friends and family.

We'll try and be very aggressive, we'll try and speed up and change gears, and we'll see who's going to win.

You just try to play tough and focus point for point. Sounds so boring, but it's the right thing to do out there.

I learned during all my career to enjoy suffering.

I don't have any idols, any heroes, nothing, no.

I always wanted to be honest with myself and to those who have had faith in me.

I'm really, really emotional.

I tried to find a solution to the problem that I had, tried to find a way to start playing better.

I'm ambidextrous when I eat. But playing tennis right-handed - I can't do it. I'm clueless.

New York is a special place; it's a city that I love.

I would love to learn other languages, maybe French? My uncle speaks German so maybe also German? Chinese seems to be too difficult.

I love the crowds in Miami. I feel that is one of the tournaments where I get more support. That helps me a lot.

I am not the most courageous guy in the world outside of the court. Being alone in the dark is something I don't like.

My motivation and aspiration is the same, being number one or being number five. So that's the truth. And my goal is the same - it's to always be happy playing, it's to enjoy the game and improve always.

I only ever run when there's some point to it - say, if it's in a game of tennis.

I think the tennis is only a game. You can lose. You can win. After that? In life, there are much more important things than tennis.

I always had the theory that the most important thing is be happy, enjoy what are you doing, and be fresh mentally.
