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.

Venus told me the other day that champions don't get nervous in tight situations. That really helped me a lot. I decided I shouldn't get nervous and just do the best I can.

I think my father is probably the best coach ever because, if we talk about numbers, he's got a lot and he's only had two players.

I am here to play women's tennis. I'm a lady. Predominantly, most of the time I always like to play ladies.

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 just love leopard print.

I wish I could play like Roger Federer.

My smile is my favorite part of my body. I think a smile can make your whole body. I want women to know that it's ok. That you can be whatever size you are and be beautiful inside and out.

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.

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.'

I'm not taking Zika lightly. Especially being older, I definitely am going everywhere protected. I'm protecting myself.

I love designing dresses and tops.
Serena Williams
Image
I never close my mind to anything and eventually want to branch out. But for now, tennis is still number one for me.

Think of all the girls who could become top athletes but quit sports because they're afraid of having too many defined muscles and being made fun of or called unattractive.

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.

It's amazing, but I guess that happens when you become overly famous. Every week now, I get more famous.
Serena Williams
Image
I got involved in the design process a long time ago. I've been working with their main designer [Berlei] for a while. It's been really fun all around.
Serena Williams
Image
I've always considered myself the best and the top. I never considered that I was out of it.
Serena Williams
Image
I just never give up. I fight to the end. You can't go out and say, 'I want a bag of never-say-die spirit.' It's not for sale. It has to be innate.
Serena Williams
Image
I think I can improve a lot. I think I can get a lot better. I feel like there's much, much more I can do.

I was looking in the mirror today and my waist is still 28 inches. I think it's all because I have a large bosom and a large ass. I have a large ass and it always just looks like I'm bigger than the rest of the girls. I could lose 20 pounds and I'm still going to have these knockers and I'm going to have this ass, and that's just the way it is.
