Since I'm constantly in the sun, I use sunscreen daily.

I spent a whole year when I was injured just trying to get my arm back to the point where I could hit a tennis ball for more than 30 minutes a day. I'd hit for 15 minutes and it would feel as if my arm was going to fall off.

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 have had lots of luck in my career but there has also been a lot of hard work.

I mean, I think I'm doing a lot better than other people that have had shoulder surgery in their careers. Some people have never come back.

I know my roots and I cannot forget the journey I made.

I want my handbags and my shoes to be stylish but I want to make sure that they're versatile. I travel and I have to make sure the pieces I put into my bag can go with a dress or with shorts or jeans.

I don't worry about what my opponent is doing.

When I need to push myself, I think of all those nicely polished trophies waiting to be lifted up by the winner - and how that winner might be me.

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

Without my dad, I wouldn't be here.

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 always have a Sharpie, because usually when someone asks me for an autograph, they don't have a pen. I carry one in my purse, as well as in my tennis bag.

It's always tough when you lose - you've worked so hard for that moment and it hasn't gone the way you wanted. But you have to realise there's always a bright side, you have to pick yourself up and get ready for the next game.

I can't please everyone. That's not in my J.D., you know, not in my job description.

Well, fans always root for the underdog.

I want to be different. If everyone is wearing black, I want to be wearing red.

No matter what you study, the thing that you know best is what you grew up with.

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.

I learned a long time ago through my dad that you shouldn't really compare yourself to others - just because that hampers how good you can be.

When I'm aggressive and things are moving quick and my feet are in place, I'm a better, more accurate thrower.

My main focus was to be a great teammate. That's all I hoped to accomplish. I don't really care about legacies.

I always try to make it a point when I'm talking to guys to say we. It's not you need to do this, it's what can we do better. It makes it more of a family culture.

The best leaders adapt and are flexible with their situations. I try to be the same.
