More quotes by 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.

I'm the most successful bad player ever.

Most players who play tennis love the game. But I think you also have to respect it. You want to do everything you can in your power to do your best. And for me, I know I get insane guilt if I go home at the end of the day and don't feel I've done everything I can. If I know I could have done something better, I have this uneasy feeling.

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 try not to take myself too seriously. I like to have a good time.

If nothing else, I'm a decent quote.

Andy Roddick
My aggression out there is my weapon. I think it's more letting them know that I'm not going to let them get away with something, and I'm not just going to kind of poke it back and be content to stay in rallies.
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
I want everyone to look back and think that I was awesome.
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
The only pressure I feel is what I put on myself.
Andy Roddick
You know, you can only throw in so many haymakers before one misses and you get knocked out
Andy Roddick
Is that the longest fifth set ever? It was? So, no, I've never played one longer than that!
Andy Roddick
You can get the true essence of New Yorkers by just hanging out in Central Park
Andy Roddick
I've been good about keeping my nose to the grindstone.
Andy Roddick
I used to, like, hit for a half hour and then go eat Cheetos the rest of the day, come out and drill forehands. Now I'm really trying to make it happen, being professional, really going for it, and I miss my Cheetos.
