More quotes by Billie Jean King
As far as U.S. tennis, we need new stars coming up in the pipeline, but I don't know if we have it.
Billie Jean King
Sports are a microcosm of society.
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 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
The main thing is to care. Care very hard, even if it is only a game you are playing.
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
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
At 62 you want to keep moving that's important.
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
Love, light & blessings be On this day I wish to say 'Health & Happiness to come your way' Happy Birthday
Billie Jean King
Pressure is a privilege - it only comes to those who earn it.
Billie Jean King
Champions take responsibility.
Billie Jean King
I like entrepreneurial people I like people who take risks.
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
I always wanted to help make tennis a team sport.
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
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
I wanted to use sports for social change.
Billie Jean King
Every generation I think gets better usually [in tennis].
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.
