More quotes by Andre Agassi
You've got to believe you can win. But I believe respect for the fact that you can lose is what you always have to keep in mind so that nothing suprises you.
Andre Agassi
Tennis is one of the only sports in America where the sport doesn't grow with the size of the person - it just forces you to swallow the whole pill.
Andre Agassi
What makes something special is not just what you have to gain, but what you feel there is to lose.
Andre Agassi
Success doesn't always come in the form of a trophy. Keep striving for success.
Andre Agassi

I can live with losing, I can't live without taking my chance.
Andre Agassi
Hitting the ball has never been my issue, so I can literally not pick up a racquet for two months and hit the ball, really, really nicely. I mean movement's always an issue.
Andre Agassi
You have to have the mentality of executing your game when you don't feel like there's a lot of hope. I think the best feeling is when somebody pushes you to the limit and you dig down a little bit extra. By the same token, you also need a little luck. Sometimes they come together.
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
Sex doesn't interfere with your tennis it's staying out all night trying to find it that affects your tennis.
Andre Agassi
Yes, for a long time but I admired her and respected everything that I could sort of see in her from a distance, the pillars of her life, the loyalties, the relationships. It all got my interest and also the looks.
Andre Agassi
Freed from the thoughts of winning, I instantly play better. I stop thinking, start feeling. My shots become a half-second quicker, my decisions become the product of instinct rather than logic.
Andre Agassi
You don't cheat anybody out of their experience, whatever it is.
Andre Agassi
I had my moments for sure but I wasn't confrontational. And sometimes you get on the court and you'd find yourself very confrontational. It was all a discovery.
Andre Agassi
Hitting a ball dead perfect - the only peace.
Andre Agassi
I always felt tennis and winning was a byproduct of doing everything right.
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.
