When I'm relaxed, I play my best tennis.
I do love pears. All types of pears. Not too firm, not too soft; they have to be at the right time of their life.
I feel like with 'On the Town,' it was the perfect production and the perfect opportunity.
Everybody has a high point and a lot goes into that: timing, situation, general consciousness.
I've always found when I'm healthy and happy I perform the best, not necessarily when I've done the most training.
If you want to win a horse race, you need your horse to be 100%.
It is every one's sacred duty to keep himself in a condition to do the biggest thing possible to him.
I always knew that my best tennis was going to be in my late 20s.
To be premature is to be perfect
If I am not playing at one hundred percent, it is going to be very difficult for me to win.
I love it when you have to perform at a certain level or else. That's when I'm at my best.
I try not to eat right before I perform. It's better to perform on an empty stomach - it just feels better. You just feel like a leaner machine. You're not worrying about digesting things.
I'm in my prime. There's no goal too far, no mountain too high.
If you put everything together as far as my mind, my body, my game. If you put everything in one bottle, this is probably the best I've been.
When you are in a good frame of mind then the performance is going to be better.
You want to hit full strides going into the first game and maintain it.
I always want to be on the cusp of being in the best shape that I can be.
As fresh as I can be in the games, the better.
You don't wanna peak too early in training camp, but you don't wanna be out of shape or not to the point where you're able to peak. It's a science to be able to find the happy medium where your body and mind are at their best.
To stay at my best, I have to stop talking during the preceding day.
It takes a lot of discipline to become and stay champion. It also takes a lot of discipline to stop while still feeling that you're in the best physical and mental shape of your life, but I've always planned to leave the sport when I'm at the top and in good health.
In this league, it's all about being close to 100 percent on game day.
I want to make sure I'm in the best shape possible.
Shearer could be at 100 per cent fitness, but not peak fitness.
When things are really great, it just means everything's in it's place.
