People always ask about young people like me being forced into things. I play tennis because I love it. I think Russians might be tougher than other people. When I arrived in America I was young, but I already knew what I wanted. I think that when you start from nothing, when you come from nothing, it makes you hungry. I am proud of where I came from and I know what I want. I want to win.

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

I'm always that annoying person that pulls out the camera in the middle of dinner and starts taking candids.

I personally love Jennifer Lawrence. She's an amazing actress, but so young and fresh and youthful.

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

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

That's why we have journalists, for stats.
