I decided I can't pay a person to rewind time, so I may as well get over it.
Serena Williams
Image
It's me, and I love me. I learned to love me. I've been like this my whole life, and I embrace me. I love how I look. I love that I'm a full woman and I'm strong and I'm powerful and I'm beautiful at the same time. There's nothing wrong with that.

I don't want to be like some of those celebrities walking around, just so full of themselves. I always want to be down-to-earth, want to be a person like when you meet them, they're the same person that you think of them in the article or something.

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.

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 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.

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.

My mom taught me how to sew when I was super young I used to make clothes for my dolls. When I finally went to [fashion design] school [in 1999], I really took to pattern making. Everyone in class was good at something I was the person, if you need help with your patterns, you come to me and I would help you out.

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.
Serena Williams

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

It's amazing, but I guess that happens when you become overly famous. Every week now, I get more famous.

No, I don't read the papers. I just look at the pictures.

I've always made some legendary comebacks since 1998 when it first started. So that's kind of just been my MO for my whole career.

With a defeat, when you lose, you get up, you make it better, you try again. That's what I do in life, when I get down, when I get sick, I don't want to just stop. I keep going and I try to do more. Everyone always says never give up but you really have to take that to heart and really do never definitely give up. Keep trying.
