More quotes by Billie Jean King
I like entrepreneurial people I like people who take risks.
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
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
Winning comes down to who can execute under pressure.
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
Don't worry about what people say.
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
Ladies, here's a hint. If you're up against a girl with big boobs, bring her to the net and make her hit backhand volleys. That's the hardest shot for the well-endowed.
Billie Jean King
Everyone has people in their lives that are gay, lesbian or transgender or bisexual. They may not want to admit it, but I guarantee they know somebody.
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
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
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
Champions keep playing until they get it right.
Billie Jean King
I love to promote our sport. I love grass-roots tennis. I love coaching. I love all parts of the sport. I love the business side.
Billie Jean King
Some people do have softer boundaries.
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 have a lot to say, and if I'm not No. 1, I can't say 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
At 62 you want to keep moving that's important.
Billie Jean King
It's just really important that we start celebrating our differences. Let's start tolerating first, but then we need to celebrate our differences.
Billie Jean King
