Maria Sharapova admits that she can sometimes be too controlling. "Well, I am extremely stubborn, and in a way it's good because I am very involved in things, and I suppose that I am always in control and I get involved in things—but sometimes I think that this is a weakness as I get really involved in things, and so I think sometimes that I should really back off," she told reporters in Rome. "The good thing is that I am pretty humble and a lot of things that make me happy and they don't necessarily have to be big—there are a lot of small things in my life that make me passionate ... I don't take no for an answer and I keep going and fighting for what I believe is right."
