I don't like to lose-at anything... Yet I've grown most not from victories, but setbacks. If winning is God's reward, then losing is how he teaches us.

I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall

The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise each other up. Make sure you're very courageous: be strong, be extremely kind, and above all be humble.

I am lucky that whatever fear I have inside me, my desire to win is always stronger.

Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.

We're sisters, we're roommates, we're all that.

Everyone's dream can come true if you just stick to it and work hard.

You have to believe in yourself when no one else does.

I always believe I can beat the best, achieve the best. I always see myself in the top position.

I'm the kind of person who buys a new thing, wears it so much and then is totally sick of it.

Jail-going is only the beginning, not the end of satyagraha. The acme of satyagraha for us would be to lay down our lives for the defence of India's just cause.

Most of us are better when things go better.

It's easier to be healthy in Hawaii than it is, almost anywhere else I've lived. You spend a lot of time outside, in the ocean and on the beach.
