I used to hear a lot that all I could do was hit a serve, I couldn't volley, I can't hit a backhand, I don't return well, and then people would turn round and tell me I'm underachieving.

I don't think I'm one of those guys who won't pick up a racket for three years...I love hitting tennis balls.
Andy Roddick
In the States, tennis is sixth or seventh on the totem pole as far as sports go.
Andy Roddick
Stay in school kids or you'll end up being an umpire.
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 think I've always had a decent perspective on wins and losses on the tennis court.
Andy Roddick
I played basketball in high school, and I love watching sports - I'll watch everything except maybe hockey.
Andy Roddick
When you make the schedule, you're not planning on playing deep into every single week, or at least I haven't in the past. I'm not physically or mentally ready to pick up my bags and go to Monte Carlo. I definitely have to look at what's best for my chances at (at the French Open).
Andy Roddick
I don't think about tennis 24/7. I enjoy time on the lake at my Florida home and just being lazy on the sofa.
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
At one point in your life, you'll have the thing you want or the reasons why you don't.
Andy Roddick
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.
Andy Roddick
I cook a little - I've never taken classes or anything - but enough to get by.
Andy Roddick
My serve has killed a small dog ... I'm joking, I'm joking! The dog was huge!
Andy Roddick
It seems with every match I win, I get better-looking to other people.
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
If I wore a sleeveless shirt, people would try to feed me after the match.
Andy Roddick
I enjoy hitting tennis balls. I haven't lost any of the innocent parts of tennis. I just do it in front of less people.
Andy Roddick
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.
