  • You don't think people would go on about my looks if I was No. 500 in the world instead of No.12, do you? Anyway, as I keep telling everyone, you can't blame me for looking like this on purpose.
  • I worked very hard and I earned all the attention I'm getting.
  • I just play for fun.
  • There are parties and stuff, but I don't go to a lot of them. I just have to go because the sponsors are there, but not to have a crazy time. I'm a normal person. I like to stay at home, watch a little TV if I can.
  • At this year's Open, I'll have five boyfriends.
  • Notice how I didn't say our former USA colleague.
  • There are a lot of pretty girls. I am a tennis player first of all, that is why I am here, and if wasn't producing results no one would notice me.
  • When I was 12, every little girl in Russia was trying to wear her hair like mine and playing tennis.
  • I have lost this battle but I will win the war.
  • Now that I've met him? You know, you take away his skills and the way he plays, his tenacity and all that and his leadership, he's a very good guy. I feel bad that I hated him so much the last few years.
  • It's not really a shorter skirt, I just have longer legs...
  • People don't get to see the unglamourous side.
  • My manager wants me to dress like a nun and I want to dress like a teenager.
  • The courts are as a stage, people love to see attractive players.
  • I'm like the most expensive, exotic item on a gourmet menu. People can wonder about the sensuous delights of the dish, but they can't afford such an expensive luxury
  • This is only the third tournament of the year. I've got to be positive and try to play better and better every time. I have plenty of time. It's already getting better from last year, from the end of the season. That's the way it should be.
  • A court is like a scene, people want to see attractive people.
  • It's that I have a good personality and am a good tennis player.
  • When I play, I feel like in a theatre, why should I look ugly then, because I'm a tennis-player?
  • It's true I always try to be as seductive as possible but I wouldn't be here if I couldn't play tennis.
  • I think it's really important for me not to forget where I came from.
  • Boyfriends have to understand my needs. I shower four times a day.
  • Wear them with peasant dresses, or tuck them into jeans.
  • I enjoy every win that I have. Every win gives me satisfaction, because all the girls are competitive and the tour is so even and tough.
  • Boyfriends have to understand me and my needs. They have to know what I want out of my life and about my strict regime. I go to bed at 10pm and not later. I separate my professional and private lives.
  • I'm like an expensive menu... you can look but you can't afford!
  • I think that tennis is a lady's sport, so we should look out there like ladies.
  • The world believes all blondes are stupid and brunettes are smarter. Well, I disagree.
  • I am beautiful, famous and gorgeous. I could have any man in the world
  • I don't know what better teenage life you could get than going around the world doing what you love to do.
  • Surfing people haven't learned anything from the I Love You virus
  • I've just done a commercial in the U.S. in which I talk about stocks, shares and bonds. Everyone is amazed. They ask me: 'You really know about that stuff or did you just learn it for the commercial?' I tell them I wouldn't do it unless I understood and had an interest.
  • Do I consider myself sexy? I all depends on the way I'm feeling. When I'm happy inside, that's when I feel most sexy.
  • I am beautiful, famous and gorgeous.
  • God gives all to those, who get up early.
  • I have a lot of boyfriends, I want you to write that. Every country I visit, I have a different boyfriend. And I kiss them all.
  • I was caught in the middle. They should have either let me go or not play at all. They just froze me in the middle and now I'm stuck.
  • Well, I'm playing for the fans so whenever they come and ask for autographs I always try to give it to everybody because I'm out there for the people
  • Save me with your forehand, Anna.
  • I've never been able to play well against (Novotna). I lost three straight times in singles
  • There's time for a boyfriend in my life. But he would have to be understanding. He would have to understand that often I will be travelling and playing.
  • You play everyday - it's a job 24/7, seven days a week.
  • Like any young person, I do what I want.
