Quote

I don't like to lose-at anything... Yet I've grown most not from victories, but setbacks. If winning is God's reward, then losing is how he teaches us.

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 try not to be protected. Because I feel like you can become a little bit of a robot. That's not who I am. And I don't want to be monotone. It's important to be yourself, whatever the cost.

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.

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.

I definitely want to have kids one day. That's something I've always wanted since as long as I could remember. And the older I get, the more I'm like, I'm too young!

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.

I've been involved with Berlei for almost my whole career. I actually discovered them well over 10 years ago, probably 2002 at least. My mom introduced me. She said, Listen, you should try these bras. And I was like, Really? So I tried it and since then I've never worn another bra.

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.

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.

Most people that do play nowadays hit really hard. It was good to get someone that hit really hard early on.

I'm watching a lot of the football.

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.

I'm not used to crying. It's a little difficult. All my life I've had to fight. It's just another fight I'm going to have to learn how to win, that's all. I'm just going to have to keep smiling.
Serena Williams

I'm a perfectionist. I'm pretty much insatiable. I feel there's so many things I can improve on.
