RE: Your Favorite Quotes

I've found some of these Andy Murray quotes absolutely brilliant and hilarious. Lolz.

====================================================================

I am Scottish. I am also British.

I'm definitely open to change, but at the same time I am quite stubborn.

To be honest, I think bananas are a pathetic fruit.

I believe you should give 100% on the court, so I chase every ball.

I play fantasy basketball and fantasy football, soccer.

I tend not to argue about things that I don't believe in.

My fitness trainer's English, my physio's English, some of my friends are English. I don't have a problem with English people at all.

Tennis is an individual sport, and I am quite a self-conscious person.

When I'm at home, I enjoy going go-karting.

I don't want a flashy car, just something that would allow me to stop using the Tube. And it would be good not to have to rely on my mum all the time, particularly when I have to listen to her singing in her car.

I've been asked a lot lately if tennis is clean or not. I don't know any more how you judge whether a sport is clean. If one in 100 players is doping, in my eyes that isn't a clean sport.
