The mentality we have in India is not very sporting.

The mentality we have in India is not very sporting.

Most Indians go into education. Their parents just push them into education like parents in Australia push them into sports.

I don't think tennis is a glamour game, not at all.

I am glad that Wimbledon is my last slam. I love the atmosphere and courts of SW19, and it is an addiction, which I will find tough to give up.

I don't think there's any dearth of talent in India - we've always had the best juniors in the world.

I think that tennis has been in a place for many years without any change. Davis Cup and Fed Cup has always been a very exciting platform for players because it is such an individual sport, and we get to play a team competition. We love being part of a team.

I'm a deeply spiritual person, and I strongly believe that God is watching over me!

Indian food is a luxury on tour.

Wimbledon 2014 will be my last slam. To be honest, I am already starting to miss professional tennis, having played at the highest level for two decades. It is what has given me my identity, and I will miss every bit of the action. The thought that I will not be playing anymore is daunting.

When a law enforcement officer apprehends an illegal immigrant, it makes no sense to simply release that individual who has been breaking our laws with no threat of sanction or penalty.

Northwestern's alumni list is truly impressive. This university has graduated best-selling authors, Olympians, presidential candidates, Grammy winners, Peabody winners, Emmy winners, and that's just me!

The conservative version of American exceptionalism has become a password of sorts for candidates who want to prove their credentials to a right-wing America.

I like to be busy and I like to have places to go in the morning, when I get up.

Way too many people believe Republicans are anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-science, anti-gay, anti-worker.

To err is human - and to blame it on a computer is even more so.

'Homeland' was a sensation out of the gate in 2011, gathering acclaim and sweeping up Emmys, and the reason such shows are so overrated is because, unlike with other forms of popular art, success in TV is measured almost purely by how obsessive we become.

On October 15, 1965, an estimated 70,000 people took part in large-scale anti-war demonstrations.

Politics won't allow for the truth.

A real gentleman, even if he loses everything he owns, must show no emotion. Money must be so far beneath a gentleman that it is hardly worth troubling about.

I'm a bed monster.

I'm sorry, but Juicy Couture tracksuits and Ugg boots don't move me in any way, shape or form. I refuse to wear them. Modern fashion doesn't appeal to me; the 1950s were better in every way, don't you think?

In my garden, which is a big garden, I have one part that is my bird garden, and every morning, 365 days a year, they get buckets of food - for the birds, for the squirrels, the chipmunks and the turtles in the summer.

I'm glad I was never an heiress.

Whenever I'm waiting behind the stage, it's kind of like my normal Jackie mode is me talking a lot, playing around, but superstar Jackie mode is me concentrating on making sure that this performance was going to be a great performance.

The ancestor of every destructive action, every destructive decision, is a negative thought.

I can barely remember what I was like 36 years ago when I was 21 years old.

When it comes to the hijab - why to wear it, whether to wear it, how to wear it - there is theology and then there is practice, and there is huge diversity in both.

You can't talk of the dangers of snake poisoning and not mention snakes.

Its a great beauty tip if you ever want to look five years younger to shave off your eyebrows. Its amazing what it does. It really shaves off the years.

To hang out in a gay bar or put on a sequined halter top makes me feel like a total person.

You have to just go with your imagination, where your instinct takes you.

Any workout which does not involve a certain minimum of danger or responsibility does not improve the body - it just wears it out.

An outsider can see some things much better.
