When I make a commitment I stick to it.

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.

Ours is a culture and a time immensely rich in trash as it is in treasures.

On this Mother's Day and every day before and after, I thank you God for the precious gift of my three children. I love them unconditionally.

Being an old radical, I like films like Spartacus. I could relate to the hero.

When I was a small kid, I grew up in the newspapers.

If you are going to be underestimated by people who speak more rapidly, the temptation is to speak slowly and strategically and outwit them.

Where is fancy bred, in the heart or in the head?

Goodness and simplicity are indissolubly united.-The bad are the most sophisticated, all the world over, and the good the least.

I write from my stomach.

I love all things fashion and love to mix it up. I love girly with a touch of edge.

In my opinion we can never think of God in big enough terms. He is bigger than our biggest thoughts of Him. Our imaginations cannot stretch wide enough to take in all of God.
