The proudest thing I have ever done was to win the singles, doubles, and mixed doubles at Wimbledon.

My philosophy is to make an offer that the other guy can't refuse, because he thinks there's no way he can't win.

I said a lot of things about which I was wrong. Now I have to sit back and take what's coming, and I will. I still like women in the bedrooms and kitchens in that order, but some of them can do other things.

I never quit hustling.

I never had any initiative or drive to be a success in business.

I know beating a woman isn't like winning seven gold medals. But how many old guys are there in the world? You think they can relate to Mark Spitz? They relate to me, Bobby Riggs.

I couldn't care less about clothes or cars.

I've played this game from 12-under to the over-70s. So when they say tennis is a game from the cradle to the grave, you truly have it right.

I'm always ready to play for money.

I've got to have a bet going in order to play my best.
