“It’s pretty hard being a tennis player and Mother Theresa at the same time and that’s just the way it is.”

A great tennis career is something that a 15-year-old normally doesn’t have. I hope my example helps other teens believe they can accomplish things they never thought possible.

You have your bad moments in your career and your good moments. And it’s been a good ride so far, but it’s not over yet.

I hit a ball for a living, but I have that passion to keep learning.

I want my tennis to speak for everything.

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

I find a lot of inspiration in street style and watching women walk, the way they wear things and what they’re wearing.

I’m just a very tough person when I go on the court, and I really don’t want to lose.

If I loved a guy as much as I love my dog, the guy would be in serious trouble because I’m all over that dog, all of the time.

Through my travels, I find inspiration in street style and how young women create their individual looks and identity.

I’m never standing still and that makes my life pretty exciting.

My shoulder’s not where I want it to be, but I’m doing a good job of monitoring it.

I’m not the next anyone, I’m the first Maria Sharapova.

I have always had an interest in fashion and design and I appreciate style and timelessness within my footwear and accessories both on and off the court

I’m always on the go. I love doing things until I hit rock bottom. Then I need my 12 hours of sleep, and I’m on the go again.

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

Maybe if I was British, a semi-final would be incredible. I’d be on the front page of the paper.

The way I dress and carry myself, a lot of people find it intimidating. I think my whole career can be boiled down to the one word I always say in meetings: strength.

Early in my career, I had to choose between an honest arrogance and a hypercritical humility… I deliberately choose an honest arrogance, and I’ve never been sorry.

I always thought of losing my virginity as a career move.

Throughout my whole football career, I have always known I wasn’t the fastest guy.

I’m really happy to be on the cover as a strong female who has created her own career.

Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams. If you’re wondering which way to go, remember that your career will never wake up and tell you that it doesn’t love you anymore.

Some women choose to follow men, and some women choose to follow their dreams.

It’s very rarely a good career move to have a conscience.
