“If you’re able to help some people and make them smile and make them realize that life is good, then that’s worth so much more than buying a pair of shoes.”

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.

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.

People in general are scared to death of the war and all the exhibition have been a failure, because the rich – don’t want to buy anything.

You can’t buy happiness.

Small changes, such as thrifting instead of buying new, supporting sustainable brands, and air-drying your clothes, can make a huge difference.

Buy a stock, if it goes up, sell it, if it goes down, don’t buy it.

Money can’t buy everything, but it can buy most of it. Because of money, I could give my parents a comfortable life.

I used to have this little mouse. I buy birds from the pet store and I let them go.

Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion, bewilderment is intuition.

Buying cheap to save money is like stopping the clock to save time. Neither works.
