Famous Quotes & Sayings

Andre Agassi

You have to have the mentality of executing your game when you don't feel like there's a lot of hope. I think the best feeling is when somebody pushes you to the limit and you dig down a little bit extra. By the same token, you also need a little luck. Sometimes they come together.

A pat on the back would annoy him. He does it for the right reasons.
