I had not picked up a tennis racket in 15 years, so I tried.

I think having eight kids evens things out a bit. You learn about the world; you learn about the world; you learn you've got to get along. We're all - if anything - very adjustable.

I was prepared for the theatre, but not for the nuts and bolts.

You have to be awake at 6 a.m., when everyone else is asleep.

After doing this, going away, trying other things and working on other shows, this character, and working within Days of Our Lives, has been one of the most enjoyable experiences in my career.

It ended up being a very good thing, because they finally started writing for the character, and I realized that you have to go to work with a purpose. I learned from the experience and then moved on.

Actors worry about bad breath, weight, receding hairlines and why their leading lady looks like their daughter.

I draw whatever hits me.

All the writers and producers around us that gave us the environment where we could play. They were able to provide us with a place where we could take chances to play with things, go against the grain and do things that people don't always do.

I played a lot of character parts in school.

Obviously, you check tht she's safe, she's clean, got all the fingers and toes, like that's going to help them through life. It'll help them walk, but you can't pull them out and check their IQ or anything.

It's a rare thing to find somebody you can work with, work off of, and have fun with.

I don't know if Jim was a major part of that or not. He is one of a small group of real storytellers. He has enormous imagination and ability to write. I'm glad he's coming back. It's going to be good for the show.

What's the point of being negative or fearful? We can't control it.

It confirms for me that we did something on Days that meant something. We had our ups and downs, but Missy and I and some of the other actors, created something that was really memorable.

It's very easy for me to laugh at myself and laugh at life.

I had not picked up a tennis racket in 15 years, so I tried.

When I draw a character, very often as I'm doing a face, my face mirrors the expression.

For me, the joy of doing it is doodling when I want to. But if I had to do it, I'd lose the joy.

The fact is, it was a big show. We were a part of that show. Everybody watches for different reasons. There were some people who were tuning in that day to see what was going on with other characters.

Cartoons have always been an enjoyment to me... a relaxation... I get my ideas from everyday events.

Melissa and I have the best working relationship, and we feel that Jack and Jennifer have so much more to do.

Actors worry about bad breath, weight, receding hairlines and why their leading lady looks like their daughter.

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.

I would like to see it go back to the wood racquets. To see the touch put back in tennis.

It's true I always try to be as seductive as possible but I wouldn't be here if I couldn't play tennis.

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

When I was 12, every little girl in Russia was trying to wear her hair like mine and playing tennis.

What these guys are doing is great for Argentinean tennis. This is motivating other people.

I love to promote our sport. I love grass-roots tennis. I love coaching. I love all parts of the sport. I love the business side.

In tennis, you can make a couple of mistakes and still win. Not in golf. I played three rounds in that Tahoe event, and I was drained. Mentally, not physically.

We are merely the stars tennis-balls, struck and bandied which way please them.

I used to be told if I talked about my sexuality in any way that we wouldn't have a tennis tour.

What I want out of tennis is not necessarily just winning.

I've been playing tennis, and just whatever sport is in front of me I will do.

Tennis and golf are best played, not watched.

Yeah, I think there are many other important things in life, not just tennis.

My father actually moved out from Chicago just so he could play tennis 365 days a year, so it was - it was a place we played every day. We played before school. We played after school. We woke up. We played tennis. We brushed our teeth in that order.

The tennis wasn't really very much on my mind, so it wasn't like I was thinking about it all the time.

No, like I said, my dad was never really part of the tennis. His involvement around what I did with the tennis and with my mom and my grandparents was really not a part of my life.

Safin, in his way, is very talented. It is a joy to watch them play; it is tennis of a very high quality.

To meet my goals, I couldn't let up when I was playing tennis.

Both of us played basketball, and I played tennis and my knees are done. Now if you ask us head-to-head who wins at golf, I'm asking for a couple of strokes.

It was very hard for me to practice and enjoy my tennis, and I didn't know the why, so I worked with psychologists to try and see what was happening. They pushed me really hard.

I used to travel in tennis shoes; I am just not allowed to anymore. I'm an old hippie from San Francisco.

There are a lot of pretty girls. I am a tennis player first of all, that is why I am here, and if wasn't producing results no one would notice me.

I grew up on the tennis court with lots of other kids. There were like 40 kids all afternoon and I was one of the youngest ones, so I always had to chase everybody to keep up.

Tennis has given me soul.

Now I do bowling, golf, and tennis. I want to be a good bowler.
