No one changes the world who isn't obsessed.
Billie Jean King
Winning comes down to who can execute under pressure.
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

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
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
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
I was always in the tennis business-from 1968. I was in tournaments and also on World Team Tennis teams as well.
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 try to perfect my strong points and make my weaknesses adequate.
