“I prefer eating to cooking.” — Sania Mirza Quote

“I prefer eating to cooking.”

“When I used to say I wanted to play at Wimbledon, they used to laugh in my face and say, 'What are you talking about, you're from Hyderabad, and you're supposed to... cook.' That's one of the notions that people have in this side of the world - it is our 'culture', within quotes, you know, to say what a woman can or cannot do.”

“I used to go swimming and passed the tennis courts every day, and that's how it started. My mum said, 'Why don't you play tennis in your summer holidays because you have nothing to do except swim for an hour or whatever?,' and that's how I started playing.”

“I liked to screw around in the kitchen when I was a kid. But I started cooking when I was 15.”

“I like women who can throw a ball and laugh loud and have some spine, and I like men who don't mind cooking dinner.”

“I want people to start to think. I always say that: You've got to think before cooking.”
