Famous quotes by Jimmy Connors:

"I would watch Gonzalez play and he mesmerized you. It would be like looking into the flame of a fire. You know you couldn't take your eyes off him because you never knew what he would do next."

"Use it or lose it."

"It's a youth-driven sport. There's no doubt about it, like all sports. But tennis is exceptional in throwing away the old and shuffling in the new, sometimes even before their time on both sides."

"I've been waiting for a project that grabbed my attention and this is it. The DVD will reflect the attitude and passion that I put into the way I played tennis."

"[The 52-year-old Connors appeared energized as he signed everything in sight and fulfilled every request possible for pictures. Walking towards the players' lounge, he was approached by USA analyst and former player Tracy Austin about coming on the network for an interview.] I have nothing to say, ... You know me, Tracy, I'm a low-key guy."

"It was like bulls banging heads. He brought out the best and the worst in me and I like to think I did the same with him. Jimmy is one of the greatest players that ever lived, in my opinion. He's like the Pete Rose of tennis. I never seen a guy try as hard as this person on a tennis court. That's something I really respected."

"People say I'm around because I have a lot of heart, but I know all the heart in the world couldn't have helped me if I wasn't physically fit."

"People don't seem to understand that it's a damn war out there."

"Rather than viewing a brief relapse back to inactivity as a failure, treat it as a challenge and try to get back on track as soon as possible."

"I hate to lose more than I love to win."

"Every time I went out there I performed the best that I could and it was time to step back and clear my mind."

"Tennis was never work for me, tennis was fun. And the tougher the battle and the longer the match, the more fun I had."

"New Yorkers love it when you spill your guts out there. Spill your guts at Wimbledon and they make you stop and clean it up."

"Bjorn was a different breed, I threw my best material at him, but he would never smile, but that added to the charm when he played me and Mac. We were going nuts and losing our mind and he was sitting back like he was on a Sunday stroll."

"You have to remember that I played longer than anybody else on the main tour; I played until I was 40, and then played another six years or so on the seniors tour."

"From where we lived, to practise in St Louis was an hour-and-a-half drive each way, so that took a lot of the time. So really, our lives just took different paths."

"But why should I read what somebody else thinks of my life when I know the real story?"

"Experience is a great advantage. The problem is that when you get the experience, you're too damned old to do anything about it."

"For the last five or six years the most important thing in my life has been my family."

"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."
