If anything, we haven't changed much since we [with Venuse Williams] were kids. We really are the same people.

I'm an unbelievable designer. I don't know how I know and just do these things. I just start sketching and then I just know the colors and I always know the forecast. I know green and purple are going to be hot. I was born to be a designer. I worked hard to be a tennis player, I don't work hard to be a designer.

I'm a perfectionist. I'm pretty much insatiable. I feel there's so many things I can improve on.
Serena Williams
Image
I'm like a chameleon. I can kind of change and get my game going to whatever the situation is. If I play well, which I don't think I've even reached yet at all in this tournament, it's really hard for anyone on the women's tour to beat me.

I'm a big supporter of this product for women. And [my relationship with the brand Berlei] was so organic. I would go to the store and buy 40 or 50 bras every year because I could only get them in Australia at the time. And then eventually they heard that I would come and take all the stock.

I've almost lost several times but come through that. Being able to play your way through the tournament is really able to help.
Serena Williams
Image
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.

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.
Serena Williams

If anything, you know, I think losing makes me even more motivated.
Serena Williams

I think you have to love yourself before you fall in love. I'm still learning to love myself.
Serena Williams

I've always been a fighter and I've always fought through things my whole life.
Serena Williams
Image
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.

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.'

We're sisters, we're roommates, we're all that.
Serena Williams
Image
I never left my roots. You can identify me as someone that didn't become high and mighty. Humility is a defining [trait] all of us can forever learn, and I try to be as humble as anyone can be.

I know a lot of people who are 12 and doing things they shouldnt be doing. Whether youre an actress or a singer, its always the sexier ones that are selling more tickets or selling more albums.
