More quotes by 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 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
When you oppress people either by gender, by race, by sexual orientation, when you do that and the doors become ajar, they will fly open and they will come and they have.
Billie Jean King
I always liked co-ed events best so we have two men and two women on each team.
Billie Jean King
Winning comes down to who can execute under pressure.
Billie Jean King
Any therapist will tell you that when you're ready, you will come out. To be outed means you weren't ready.
Billie Jean King
Pressure is a privilege - it only comes to those who earn it.
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
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
Don't go into debt and don't spend a lot. It's not how much money you make, it's how much you spend.
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
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
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
In business, everything starts with integrity. Otherwise it falls apart, though it does take time to find out who has integrity.
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
Champions adjust and pressure is a privilege.
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
You want people to feel like they belong to something. And not be elitist. You don't want us to be elitist.
Billie Jean King
Champions take responsibility.
Billie Jean King
I like putting money back into what made my life, and tennis has been great to me.
