I think one of the greatest joys I have now in my career and in my profession is to be playing at an age where I can appreciate it more than I used to... It's a whole different lens you look through the older you get.

More quotes by Andre Agassi
It means a lot to you, to be out there. The highs are pretty high, and the lows are pretty low. You know, it's easy to feel like you let the team down. I mean, at the end of the day we still got to figure out a way to get through the tie.
Andre Agassi
My accomplishments do not live up to my tennis game. Most people have to work really hard and win some big matches, and then they get money and popularity. For me it has been the reverse of everybody else. The exact opposite.
Andre Agassi
The great part about tennis is you can't run out the clock.... As long as we were still playing, I had a chance.
Andre Agassi
I suppose you could never say never, but my experience would tell me that the most successful players in the world are gonna come from an environment that is more competitive at an early age.
Andre Agassi
No athletes talk to themselves like tennis players. Pitchers, golfers, goalkeepers, they mutter to themselves, but tennis players talk to themselves-and answer. Tennis players look like lunatics in a public square.
Andre Agassi
In tennis you're on an island. Of all the games men and women play, tennis is the closest to solitary confinement.
Andre Agassi
I've been motivated by overcoming challenge and overcoming the hurdles and obstacles that face me. There still is plenty out there to get motivated by.
Andre Agassi
Every now and then I will play I try to focus on charitable work. I might do it because it's an offer I can't refuse, so I rally and try to stay in shape and keep myself active.
Andre Agassi
When I was 7 years old I saw Jimmy Connors make someone carry his bag, as though he were Julius Caesar. I vowed then and there that I would always carry my own.
Andre Agassi
I've been criticized for not having perspective in the past and I thought that of myself many times but not there.
Andre Agassi
What you feel doesn’t matter in the end it’s what you do that makes you brave.
Andre Agassi
Tennis is a very objective sport in the sense that the scoreboard doesn't lie.
Andre Agassi
Sex doesn't interfere with your tennis it's staying out all night trying to find it that affects your tennis.
Andre Agassi
Hate brings me to my knees, love gets me on my feet.
Andre Agassi
Pride is bad, stress is good. I don't want to feel confident. I want to feel rage. Endless, all consuming rage.
Andre Agassi
Even if it’s not your ideal life, you can always choose it. No matter what your life is, choosing it changes everything.
Andre Agassi
Life will throw everything but the kitchen sink in your path, and then it will throw the kitchen sink. It's your job to avoid the obstacles. If you let them stop you or distract you, you're not doing your job, and failing to do your job will cause regrets that paralyze you more than a bad back.
Andre Agassi
Sometimes it's just harder to remind yourself about what you're doing and why you're doing it... Other times, you have a great desire for it, but physically you're not responding the way you want. That presents other challenges. Then sometimes it all comes together.
Andre Agassi
Well, you know, I've bonded with a lot of people over the years, you know. We played the same tournaments year after year and we go back to the same place and many times the seats have been full and that has meant the world to me for sure.
Andre Agassi
Nothing can substitute for just plain hard work. I had to put in the time to get back. And it was a grind. It meant training and sweating every day. But I was completely committed to working out to prove to myself that I still could do it.
Andre Agassi
