More quotes by Andre Agassi

Andre Agassi

My father actually moved out from Chicago just so he could play tennis 365 days a year, so it was - it was a place we played every day. We played before school. We played after school. We woke up. We played tennis. We brushed our teeth in that order.
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
You know my dad pushed me to believe that I was going to be the best. I just never thought of life without tennis, even looking forward.
Andre Agassi
I'm going to have to pick my shots and play great tennis.
Andre Agassi
I had moments of my actions and words not reflecting who it is I am - if that defines a punk, then yes, absolutely.
Andre Agassi
Now that I've won a slam, I know something very few people on earth are permitted to know. A win doesn't feel as good as a loss feels bad, and the good feeling doesn't last long as the bad. Not even close.
Andre Agassi
Tennis uses the language of life. Advantage, service, fault, break, love - the basic elements of tennis are those of everyday existence, because every match is a life in miniature.
Andre Agassi
If Pete’s (Sampras) child is a girl, my son will like her if he’s a boy, my son will defeat him.
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
This is the only perfection there is, the perfection of helping others.
