The main thing is to care. Care very hard, even if it is only a game you are playing.
Billie Jean King
When I was playing, we didn't have to compete against everybody in the world. Now it's a truly global sport, so the competition's much greater, just like it is for our children in every other area, whether it be in science or technology or whatever you talk about.
Billie Jean King
Don't let anyone define you. You define yourself.
Billie Jean King

Billie Jean King
It's really impossible for athletes to grow up. On the one hand, you're still a child, still playing a game. But on the other hand, you're a superhuman hero that everyone dreams of being. No wonder we have such a hard time understanding who we are.
Billie Jean King
I knew after my first lesson what I wanted to do with my life.
Billie Jean King
No one changes the world who isn't obsessed.
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 always respect right off the bat because we are human, but then over time you learn who the person truly is, just like they learn about you. Hope it works out really well, and you hope that builds a stronger connection over time. You can't be friends with everybody.
Billie Jean King
Martina and I went through a very bad five years. Everything's very good between us now, but it was a long haul.
Billie Jean King
