I'm 17 years old and there are many great things ahead. If I don't win the U.S. Open this year, it's not going to be a disaster in my life.

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.

What is an anarchist? One who, choosing, accepts the responsibility of choice.

I saw some religious people praying in the temples, churches and another just helping on the streets

Satan prowls but he’s a lion on a leash

Winning is a drive, it's a thing that you feel like when I go to bed at night I go to sleep.

I have something else to ask you, to ask every American. I ask you to pray for this great nation.

I'm hoping to be astonished tomorrow by I don't know what.

Whether men are pleased or not, we will, we must, worship the Lamb that was slain.

Some people think prayer stops bullets or rockets or land mines. It doesn't. That's magic, that's not God. Sometimes, you're just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

A wah-wah is important as well. I love it; it makes the guitar scream.

One woman is fair, yet I am well; another is wise, yet I am well; another virtuous, yet I am well; but till all graces be in one woman, one woman shall not come in my grace.
