More quotes by Billie Jean King
I think younger players probably just think they are who they are-they don't think about coming out. Unless you're number one in the world, nobody cares, usually.
Billie Jean King

Billie Jean King
I will tell you King's First Law of Recognition: You never get it when you want it, and then when it comes, you get too much.

Billie Jean King
A girl didn't get an athletic scholarship until the fall of 1972 for the very first time.
Billie Jean King
Winning is very tangible, it's very exciting, it's very pleasing, but it's momentary. If you can do things that last, that each generation can build upon, then that's when you're cooking.
Billie Jean King
I grew up in team sports. I think I understand the psyche of America. I think when children sign up to play, it's got to be team.

Billie Jean King
Don't worry about what people say.

Champions keep playing until they get it right.
Billie Jean King
The trouble with being number one in the world - in anything- is that it takes a certain mentality to attain that position, and that is something of a driving, perfectionist attitude, so that once you do achieve number one, you don't relax and enjoy it.
Billie Jean King
I have often been asked whether I am a women or an athlete. The question is absurd. Men are not asked that. I am an athlete. I am a women.
Billie Jean King
Champions adjust and pressure is a privilege.
Billie Jean King
Don't go into debt and don't spend a lot. It's not how much money you make, it's how much you spend.
Billie Jean King
