I'd love to open a tennis school for children in my hometown of Sochi.

I want to be different. If everyone is wearing black, I want to be wearing red.

Since I'm constantly in the sun, I use sunscreen daily.

I don't get to do as much sightseeing as I would like to.

I don't spend a lot of my time in the locker room. That's my least favourite place in the world.

If everything was going smoothly you would never build character.

When I walk through that gate to the court, that's my escape. I block out everything, good and bad.

Within a few years the name 'Maria Sharapova' will be a brand as universally recognized as Calvin Klein, BMW and Rolex.

I love what I do and I love being an athlete, but I also love all the things that have come with it.

We all started under the sun and finished under the lights.

It's easy to impress me. I don't need a fancy party to be happy. Just good friends, good food, and good laughs. I'm happy. I'm satisfied. I'm content.

After years of doing it, you learn the difference between your ego and your opinion. When you're married you have to cut through that.

You must strike in measure, when there are many to strike on one Anvile.

NASCAR fans are very knowledgeable and very passionate.

Life brings you exactly what you need.

Love is luring us forward...to the fullness of our own being

I can make beleive I have everything, but I can't pretend that I don't see that without you in my life is complete.

I enjoy tutoring. I just really enjoy the experience of teaching.
