More quotes by Serena Williams
I figure J-Lo does all these movies and all these videos and all this other stuff...I know I can play tennis and act and do photo shoots and model. I know I can do all that.
Serena Williams
I always ask my dad why wasn't I a lefty? Even when I was younger I wanted to be lefty. I could have been really good.

Those who say that Serena isn't serious about tennis she wants to go Hollywood. That's true, about Hollywood. I would love to get a lot of acting gigs. But you wouldn't believe the stuff I've turned down because of my tournament schedule...I would do well beside (comedian) Chris Tucker.
Serena Williams
I've always been a fighter and I've always fought through things my whole life.
Serena Williams
I want it to be more natural. Right now it feels really forced. Seems like I've never done a curtsy before, which may be true. But I'm looking forward to nailing it.

Serena Williams
When I'm 32? Hopefully I'll have made my mark with a few different movies, some scary ones and some comedies. I'm really funny, I have a great personality on the camera.
Serena Williams
I'm an athlete and I'm black, and a lot of black athletes go broke. I do not want to become a statistic, so maybe I overcompensate. But I'm paranoid. Oprah told me a long time ago, 'You sign every check. Never let anyone sign any checks.'
Serena Williams
I don't have anything to prove ever, ever in my life. If I have something to prove, what does that mean for everyone else? And I think everyone should have that attitude.
Serena Williams
Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.
Serena Williams
We do more ready-to-wear and ath-leisure, things you would wear everyday. I never close my mind to anything and eventually want to branch out. But for now, tennis is still number one for me.
Serena Williams
I can't become satisfied, because if I get satisfied, I'll be like, Oh, I've won Wimbledon, I've won the U.S. Open. Now can I relax. But now people are really going to be fighting to beat me.
Serena Williams
I have started to realize that I am really just a world athlete and a world entertainer -- I am a world-known person, I am a global icon.
Serena Williams
I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall
Serena Williams
The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise each other up. Make sure you're very courageous: be strong, be extremely kind, and above all be humble.
Serena Williams
People see me on the court only as a superhero, grunting and winning. They think you're a robot, and I'm not.
