When I won in 2003 never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would win Wimbledon and have my kids seeing me lift the trophy so this is pretty surreal. And yeah I was almost shocked in the moment that it all came together so nicely.

As a kid this is what I wanted my life to be. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever dare to dream that it would be this.

I think people tend to see the bigger point which is maybe not fitting in and feeling like you didn't have the childhood that you expected you would have or that you felt lonely or struggled with drugs and alcohol or just that you were able to achieve your dreams.

Dreams are illusions and we can't let go of them because we would be dead.

The Brown decision promised that every child regardless of the color of his or her skin would have unequivocal access to quality education and an equal opportunity to pursue his/her dreams.

I've never been bashful to say that I'm not really interested in Formula One. When I lived in England it's all I wanted to do and I thought that anything else would somehow be a compromise to my dreams. But then when I came back to the States I realised how much I loved being back in the States.

Instead of plotting the demise of the traditional family as some politicians and religious leaders would have you believe gay people mow their lawns and watch 'American Idol' and video their children's concerts and have the same hopes and dreams that their straight counterparts do.

Worse than not realizing the dreams of your youth would be to have been young and never dreamed at all.

My dreams were always small and puny. All I ever needed was a little house with a little picket fence by the sea. Little did I know that I would live in Malacanang Palace for 20 years and visit all the major palaces of mankind. And then also meet ordinary citizens and the leaders of superpowers.

Dreams come true without that possibility nature would not incite us to have them.
