"I'm aware that I can't please everyone. But the most important thing, as I've always said and will say again, is that when Fabio Fognini ends his career, he may have some regrets, yes, but he'll come out with his head held high. Because of the wonderful career he has had and because he has never changed. Interviewer: What do you mean? Fognini: I have always remained myself, regardless of results, popularity, news, and everything around me. And I am proud of that because I think it is important. I think you can be Valentino Rossi, the world's number one motorcyclist, or Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods... but if these things change you, you lose a bit of your humanity. It wouldn't be fair to name names, but I think many of my colleagues have changed with success, and that's a very sad thing."
