Andy Murray speaks out about Dunblane massacre
Some of my friends' brothers and sisters were killed. I have only retained patch impressions of that day, such as being in a classroom singing songs.
The weirdest thing was that we knew the guy (Hamilton). He had been in my mum's car. It's obviously weird to think you had a murderer in your car, sitting next to your mum.
That is probably another reason why I don't want to look back at it. It is just so uncomfortable to think that it was someone we knew from the Boys Club. We used to go to the club and have fun.
Then to find out he's a murderer was something my brain couldn't cope with.
I could have been one of those children.
Tennis is different from a sport like soccer. If a player and the coach don't get along, often it's the player, who is younger, who makes the changes if he wants to take a different direction. It's the nature of the business, I know that.
Andy Murray plans to live in Surrey
I'm lucky to have done sufficiently well in my sport that I could buy my penthouse apartment with a roof garden in Wandsworth and think about buying one in Miami.
One day I think I'd like a house in Surrey but am not so sure about taking off to live in exile somewhere, because the money that you gain might be offset by the amount of time you miss with your family and friends.
It is true that I am richer than I was when I was 15 but the last thing I've ever thought about on a tennis court is money.
You get nervous about winning a tournament: you don't get nervous about winning the $100,000 prize. Money is not the most important thing but I don't want to sound ungrateful.
Andy Murray is alcohol free
After two episodes in Barcelona I never drank again. I had a bad experience. I made myself look like a prat in front of my friends. The only reason I was drinking was to see what it was like to get drunk.
I hate the taste of alcohol. I don't even like champagne. I think beer is disgusting and I haven't tried whisky.
British tennis players are lazy
I'm away a lot of the time but I turn up at the National Training Centre in Roehampton, the multi-million pound headquarters of British tennis and no one is there. I'm often looking for a partner to hit with.
A large number of British players only practise half the days in the year. The LTA have built the facilities but the players don't make the best use of them. When I go to the gym there never seems to be anyone in there.
There is something wrong with the mentality and work ethic of most of the British players. There doesn't seem to be anyone who's brutally honest about it either.
LTA needs to stop wasting money
The LTA should not spend so much money on a number of the world's greatest coaches.
That does not mean I am ungrateful for my time with Brad Gilbert, but I think British tennis at this stage needs good, experienced fitness coaches and physiotherapists who understand the demands of the game.
Andy Murray has sense of humour
Contrary to my image, I do have a sense of humour. The Office is one of my favourite comedies and David Brent is simply the funniest character ever invented. It is so, so funny how much of an idiot that guy is.
Sometimes I meet people who remind me a little bit of him and I push them to try and say David Brent-ish things without them realising what I'm doing.
