More quotes by 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
If I don't do what I need to do to win, I won't win, no matter who is on the other side of the net.
Andre Agassi
First of all, let me say, 1:15 in the morning, for 20,000 people to still be here, I wasn't the winner, tennis was. That's awesome. I don't know if I've ever felt so good here before.
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.

Success doesn't always come in the form of a trophy. Keep striving for success.
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
It's shocking how little there is to do with tennis when you're just thinking about nothing except winning every point.
Andre Agassi
You'll hear a lot of applause in your life, but none will mean more to you than that applause from your peers. I hope each of you hears that at the end.
Andre Agassi
Remember this. Hold on to this. This is the only perfection there is, the perfection of helping others. This is the only thing we can do that has any lasting meaning. This is why we're here. To make each other feel safe.
Andre Agassi
I always felt tennis and winning was a byproduct of doing everything right.
Andre Agassi
People who are interested with me have for sure gotten older over the years, for example, grandparents are coming up to me telling me they grew up watching me.
Andre Agassi
I envy Pete Sampras's dullness. I wish I could emulate his spectacular lack of inspiration.
Andre Agassi
It has meant a lot to me to challenge the best players in the world and to beat them. And it means a lot to me to be out here and fighting for the title and, you know, it hurts not to win it.
Andre Agassi
To be inspired - that's the secret.
