More quotes by Billie Jean King
Sports are a microcosm of society.
Billie Jean King
When we reach the point where the women athletes are getting their pick of dates just as easily as the men athletes, then we've really and truly arrived. Parity at last!
Billie Jean King
If your partner wants to be private, you have to respect that.
Billie Jean King
The old boy network is still very strong and very true. Just look at the stock exchange and how many men and women are there. It is still very much run by men.

Billie Jean King
Being Number One isn't everything to me, but for those few hours on the court it's way ahead of whatever's in second place.
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
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
I like entrepreneurial people I like people who take risks.
Billie Jean King
No matter how tough, no matter what kind of outside pressure, no matter how many bad breaks along the way, I must keep my sights on the final goal, to win, win, win-and with more love and passion than the world has ever witnessed in any performance.
Billie Jean King
Champions adjust and pressure is a privilege.
Billie Jean King
We have, or have had women presidents or prime ministers in Liberia, Chile, Germany, Great Britain...and yet the US of A still hasn't had a women president. It's just beyond my thinking. Look at Congress.
Billie Jean King
Champions keep playing until they get it right.
Billie Jean King
In 1973, women got 59 cents on the dollar now we are getting 74 cents on the dollar. In the area of finance and business, we are at 68 cents on the dollar.
Billie Jean King
In the complete overall history of tennis, I figure I'll be worth a sentence or two.... That's why my place in the all-time rankings means so very little to me, because I know I won't be anybody's number one, and it's that same old thing: if you're not number one, then what does it really matter?
Billie Jean King
It's about learning your craft. That's a wonderful thing--especially with today's consumerism and instant gratification. You can'tbuy that. It's about making decisions, corrections, choices. I don't think it's so much about becoming a tennis player. It's about becoming a person.
Billie Jean King
Women get the attention when we get into the men's arena, and that's sad.
Billie Jean King
