But I still have to practice hard if I'm going to play my best tennis.
I know China are very good in table tennis. Let me see what happens in tennis. I am pretty happy with the way I am playing.
The day I stop feeling the pressure and I'm just enjoying myself and taking it easy is when I'm 35, asking for a wild card and playing mixed doubles with Arnaud Clement.
Unlike in my young days I'm not able to eat, drink and sleep tennis.
This trophy is so special in the world of tennis and it feels great.
You can equate acting to a tennis game: When you're playing one of the best, you get better.
I play tennis non-obsessively. I seem to beat people I play a lot or half the time, so I guess I gravitate to people who are as bad as I am.
I was an accomplished junior tennis player up to around fourteen years old. At fourteen or fifteen I made the decision to venture off to make my life 100% music.
When you play competitive tennis you are competing against someone else and you have to win. Playing music I didn't have to win I had to become better within myself.
When I lost a tennis match that made me upset or hurt emotionally I would find myself going to the piano and playing for hours. It was my place of refuge and solace.
The thing I learned from playing tennis is that I know what competition is. I can handle rejection.
There is competition. It's almost like I'm back in tennis competing in a way. There are usually about twenty composers vying for the number one spot for a big or medium film.
