When you are young, you are a little naive.

I love yoga. I do yoga when I have time, which is not very often.

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

I don't spend a lot of my time in the locker room. That's my least favourite place in the world.

I never think about the numbers. I've never played tennis for the money, because as long as I enjoy it, and I can achieve anything, then the money will come. I know that things will start coming up, many more people will want to start getting involved. But I just want to keep my head cool, and I want to leave (business) to the people who take care of business. I just go out and I just play tennis.

That's why we have journalists, for stats.

When I come into a tournament, I'm expecting to win. That's my philosophy. I can't go to a tournament thinking, 'I'm going to get my ass kicked today, so I might as well leave.'
