More quotes by Billie Jean King
Pressure is a privilege - it only comes to those who earn it.
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
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
No one changes the world who isn't obsessed.
Billie Jean King
Don't worry about what people say.
Billie Jean King
In 1973, a woman could not get a credit card without her husband or father or a male signing off on it.
Billie Jean King
Reputation is what others think about you. What's far more important is character, because that is what you think about yourself.
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
I always liked co-ed events best so we have two men and two women on each team.
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
Sports are a microcosm of society.
Billie Jean King
Winning comes down to who can execute under pressure.
Billie Jean King
I think one of the concerns, anytime you're in the human business, like sports, it's a very high - risk endeavor. You do have to get players every year. You have to deal with calendar. You have to deal with all kinds of things in our sport, like every sport does.
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
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
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
If your partner wants to be private, you have to respect that.
Billie Jean King
Bobby Riggs was one of my heroes. I admired him. That's one of the reasons I beat him - because I respected him.
Billie Jean King
Champions adjust and pressure is a privilege.
