When I travel, I love speaking to women around the world about the things that inspire them, the fashions they like, what makes something good and what would make it even better.

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.

It's a strange grief… to die of nostalgia for something you you will never live.

Literature is a microscope

Always be the right person for the right job at the right time. Remember time is always right.

Art has to change things, and if it was immediately acceptable it would not be doing the job.

I went on inactive duty in August 1945, and since I had stayed in such good shape and had played ball on military teams, I was ready to start for the Indians just two days later, against the Tigers.

Knowledge is the acquiring of facts, understanding is the interpreting of facts, wisdom the application.

Strange! that what is enjoyed without pleasure cannot be discontinued without pain!

The rich will do anything for the poor but get off their backs.

I like to speak on matters which matter to human beings, and almost everything matters to human beings.

There is not a woman born who desires to eat the bread of dependence.
