‘Cabin Fever’ was very much inspired by ‘The Thing.’ It’s really a perfect guy’s horror movie: There’s no love story, it’s just straight-up horror. And it’s so well-done. It moves at a slow pace, but it’s really terrific.
I have been learning English on the road since I started when I was 15, so it is a slow process but making some progress. Now I think I am much more comfortable with my English. However, it is difficult, still, when I speak about something that is not tennis.

In this media-drenched, multitasking, always-on age, many of us have forgotten how to unplug and immerse ourselves completely in the moment. We have forgotten how to slow down.

I have always taken a step forward and believe that slow and steady wins the race.

Slow, Deep And Hard was a great album, even though it was probably our least selling record.

You can’t be as good as you are supposed to be.
