More than anyone else, Hank Aaron made me wish I wasn't a manager.

I came back to do a live concert. Nobody had done that before and I know my managers were worried.

You can't always wait for the guys at the top. Every manager at every level in the organization has an opportunity, big or small, to do something. Every manager's got some sphere of autonomy. Don't pass the buck up the line.

The players make the manager, it's never the other way.

The only thing I believe is this: A player does not have to like a manager and he does not have to respect a manager. All he has to do is obey the rules.

I'm a fair manager, put it that way. I like to be fair with the players, but there's a time for discipline.

I was in the tennis bubble. I wasn't thinking about the big picture. I didn't notice what they said on television, I wasn't reading any papers. I had a coach and a manager, and they kept me in the bubble.

Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had.

The manager has his eye on the bottom line; the leader has his eye on the horizon.

Leaders are people who do the right thing; managers are people who do things right.

The manager has a short-range view; the leader has a long-range perspective.

The manager accepts the status quo; the leader challenges it.
