• Unwearied, and with springing steps elate, I had conveyed my wealth along the road. The empty sack proved now a heavier load: I was borne down beneath its worthless weight. I stumbled on, and knocked at Death's dark gate. There was no answer. Stung by sorrow's goad I forced my way into that grim abode, And laughed, and flung Life's empty sack to Fate.

• Success is something you should never take into consideration: if you follow it it'll elude you.

It's important to write every day, for hours. To have faith in your imagination and let it wander.

• Why dost thou heap up wealth, which thou must quit,
  Or what is worse, be left by it?
  Why dost thou load thyself when thou 'rt to fly,
  Oh, man! ordain'd to die?
  Why dost thou build up stately rooms on high,
  Thou who art under ground to lie?
  Thou sow'st and plantest, but no fruit must see,
  For death, alas! is reaping thee.

• I don't go out of my way to get noticed. When I'm in Scotland it's tough, because loads of people come up to me. They're always really polite. It's nice, it's fun and good to speak to people who aren't involved in tennis, but some have this habit of just staring at me and that makes me really self-conscious. I'd rather they came up and said hello.

  Lie bodies of the vampires full of blood;
  Their shrouds are bloody and their lips are wet.
