For every bad moment I've had, there have been 25 positives.

I don't have much interest in being on a senior tour. I don't think I retired so that I could be on tour.

He [Vince Spadea] was about as down and out as you could see from a Top 20 player. Then to claw his way back through the minor leagues and do it the hard way where he wasn't young, wasn't getting wildcards, wasn't getting any help. I guess he decided he was just going to do it.
Andy Roddick
I've pretty much been portrayed as every style thing you can be. After Wimbledon you are Andy Everyman, who everybody is rooting for. I think the meat and potatoes of who I am hasn't been covered yet.
Andy Roddick
I'm still missing that little something.
Andy Roddick
I don't want to live and die with every point that's being played out there now. I'm going to let my coach live and die with every point.

I'm just glad to see that Pete (Sampras) shut everyone up last year. That was satisfying. You can't bag on guys like Pete or Tiger (Woods) or Michael Jordan. They can play as long as they want, they can do whatever they want. Nobody should be able to tell them differently.
Andy Roddick
I've become better at the net. I've got a 135 mph serve so I'd be stupid not to follow that in. Overall I'm a better player than I was last year.

My serve has killed a small dog ... I'm joking, I'm joking! The dog was huge!
Andy Roddick
You can get the true essence of New Yorkers by just hanging out in Central Park
Andy Roddick
I definitely think the European weather has more of a factor than the European clay. I think the European weather changes from week to week, I mean, last year it was sunny and hot and this week it's kind of playing tricks on us a little bit. I definitely think that is a factor.
Andy Roddick
Is that the longest fifth set ever? It was? So, no, I've never played one longer than that!
Andy Roddick
I think I have a lot of room for improvement. My serve is okay, but I need to work on a lot of things: return, transition game, backhand.
Andy Roddick
Umpiring, the only job in the world where you can screw up on a daily basis and still have one!
Andy Roddick
I don't know that I'll ever be the guy who needs to go to a tournament to be seen and to spectate. I feel like I can accomplish spectating from home.
Andy Roddick
I played basketball in high school, and I love watching sports - I'll watch everything except maybe hockey.
Andy Roddick
When you come off something really disappointing, you want to come back and kind of regroup and get involved in something positive right away.
Andy Roddick
I'm not the savior of men's tennis in America. I'm just a kid trying to win a few matches.
Andy Roddick
I think I've always had a decent perspective on wins and losses on the tennis court.
