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

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.

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.

I love playing for my country, getting the support. Especially for the kids and everybody, showing my example of what I can achieve so early. And maybe they can achieve it, too, just to get that in their minds.

I’m an athlete. I go out there and fight my heart out.

Well, fans always root for the underdog.

I owe a lot to my parents.

I love jotting down ideas for my blog, so I doodle or take notes on all kinds of stuff that inspires me: the people I meet, boutiques I visit, a florist that just gave me a great idea for an interior-design project, things like that.

Honesty is the best policy. If I lose mine honor, I lose myself.

Guess you lose some and win some, long as the outcome is income.

If you lose money for the firm, I will be forgiving. If you lose reputation, I will be ruthless.

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

It’s impossible for you to lose me, because you never had me.

Forgive but do not forget, or you will be hurt again. Forgiving changes the perspectives. Forgetting loses the lesson.

To lose one parent, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.

To be a winner you must want to win but must know of the chance of losing and must not fear of it.
