More quotes by Serena Williams
I'm always learning new things.
Serena Williams
I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall
Serena Williams
Nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream.
Serena Williams
I don't want to end my career and then start something. I like to do something while my career is still hot and I've always enjoyed designing.
Serena Williams
I was having an out-of-body experience, it was so hot. I felt I was watching someone play in a blue dress, and it wasn't me.
Serena Williams
I just love leopard print.
Serena Williams
I just hate to lose. When I am on the court, it is like my life depends on it.
Serena Williams
I am here to play women's tennis. I'm a lady. Predominantly, most of the time I always like to play ladies.
Serena Williams
Who says that your thirties is when you're supposed to be done? I would like to know who made that rule!
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've always been a fighter and I've always fought through things my whole life.
Serena Williams
If anything, you know, I think losing makes me even more motivated.
Serena Williams
I'm proud to have opened [two] schools in Africa and one in Jamaica [through the Serena Williams Fund and its partners]. I was given a lot. I was given two parents. That's already starting above a lot of kids. And then I was given the opportunity to play tennis and parents who supported that. I feel I can give back.
Serena Williams
I talked with Tom Hanks. I saw that movie 'Turner and Hooch' at least 50 times. It took all my guts to go up to him. I went up to him, I was like, 'Can I have a picture?' We talked acting he wanted to know what I was doing. We talked a little tennis. I mean, he knew all about myself and my sister.
Serena Williams
I always say that when I'm playing well, no one can beat me. I'm not just saying that to sound full of myself or anything, but it's true.
Serena Williams
I'm a high-performance athlete: I'm running, I'm sprinting, I'm sliding, I'm doing pretty much everything and the last thing I want to worry about is my chest. I want to just worry about playing the sport at the highest level that I can.
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
Dad thanks for leaning in by helping me become a role model for young girls.
Serena Williams
It's always good to get a smaller tournament under your belt so that by the time you get to the Slams, you have a lot of experience.
Serena Williams
Sure, I've been on the Tube...I caught it to Eastbourne once.
Serena Williams
