- Andre Agassi: When I fell to 140 in the world, it was clear that I wouldn't continue like that. So either I wasn't gonna do it anymore or I was gonna do it differently.
- Andre Agassi: I got to a point in my life where I said, okay I'm going to take ownership of this myself. This is what I want from it, this is what I want for it, this is what I want in it. But I wasn't gonna do the same thing over again and expect different results. So I made an adjustment; I got back to the fundamentals and the basics of what gives you a chance out there, and through that process I think I took ownership of my career.
- Jim Courier: That statement when he went and played Challengers and picked his own balls up, this is a guy who sells thousands and thousands of tickets anywhere he goes, instead doing it in front of a couple hundred people; that's a powerful message. There's no reason for him to go down to play Challengers except to get confidence; and to get back to the basics. I wouldn't have done it.
- Andre Agassi: It was a daily grind that year. Everyday, I would wake up, I would pull out my notebook and I would write down what my goal was that day. What am I looking to accomplish today? Because today I need to accomplish something.
- Andre Agassi: As I got older, I grew to love the game. I grew to respect it. I grew to embrace it. And I grew to understand what it meant to me and why it's important to me and why I need it. That's when a different layer of my game and career started to expose itself; it's when I felt like I was stepping on the court and waking up everyday with a clear purpose.
- Andre Agassi: I had some real high points and some pretty low ones there through that last stretch. I was one of the lucky ones in life that got a second chance. And my journey, when people saw me go from 141 in the world, back to number 1, they saw me climb Mount Everest. They didn't understand that I was starting from the bottom of the Grand Canyon.
