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.

More quotes by Andy Roddick
Having two older brothers is a healthy reminder that you're always closer to the bottom than you are to the top.
Andy Roddick
I used to go to the US Open on my birthdays and sit in the nosebleeds.
Andy Roddick
I don't know that I've ever been someone who's interested in existing on tour. I have a lot of interests and a lot of other things that excite me.
Andy Roddick
I think if I believe in something strongly enough, I'm pretty outspoken about it.
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
It's pretty high up there on the list. Being able to return a serve at that speed is one of the biggest things that separates the professionals from the recreational players.

It seems with every match I win, I get better-looking to other people.
Andy Roddick
One little secret of the guys who have won one slam, is that we don't want other guys to win one because its like a bit of a special fraternity.
Andy Roddick
I cook a little - I've never taken classes or anything - but enough to get by.
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
The key to the match might have been his serving. Maybe I should have concentrated harder on watching them go by me, I don't know.
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
Is that the longest fifth set ever? It was? So, no, I've never played one longer than that!
Andy Roddick
Almost everybody's here doing the same thing. Who am I to come up with an excuse when there's 64 other players here doing the same thing? 63 others, sorry.
Andy Roddick
The only pressure I feel is what I put on myself.
Andy Roddick
Call me All-American, but I love Ham and Cheese sandwiches. And not just any old ham and cheese sandwich... My mother's is the best. I've tried many times to make these sandwiches on my own, but it's never the same.
