Andre Agassi

“Control what you can control. I can control my emotions, my concentration, my effort, my intensity.”

“Image is everything.”

“If you don't practice, you don't deserve to win.”

“What you feel doesn’t matter in the end; it’s what you do that makes a difference.”

“Being number two sucks.”

“You have a choice in life. You can either live on-purpose, according to a plan you've set. Or you can live by accident, reacting to the demands of others.”

“I play tennis for a living, even though I hate tennis, hate it with a dark and secret passion and always have.”

“It's no accident, I think, that 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.”

“The great part about tennis is you can't run out the clock... As long as we're still playing, I've got a chance.”

“Tennis is a lonely sport. There's no team to pick you up, no coach to call a time-out. You're out there by yourself. And any mistakes you make, you have to live with them.”
