More quotes by 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
Women get the attention when we get into the men's arena, and that's sad.
Billie Jean King
Men can have a huge turnover of sponsorship and still survive a lot better than the women. But the women's ratings are better, at least at home in the United States than in the men's tennis.

Billie Jean King
Don't be afraid to hit the ball.
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
Be bold. If you're going to make an error, make a doozy, and don't be afraid to hit the ball.
Billie Jean King
Champions adjust and pressure is a privilege.
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
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
I like to see what future generations are thinking about.
Billie Jean King
I feel that tennis is an art form that is capable of moving the players and the audience - at least a knowledgeable audience-in almost sensual ways. When I'm performing at my absolute best, I think that some of the euphoria I feel must be transmitted to the audience.
Billie Jean King
No one changes the world who isn't obsessed.
