Venus Williams
A win's a win, unless it is not a win, and then it's not a win.
Venus Williams
Losses have propelled me to even bigger places, so I understand the importance of losing. You can never get complacent because a loss is always around the corner. It's in any game that you're in - a business game or whatever - you can't get complacent.
Venus Williams
As long as we're fit, we just have so much to give on the court.
Venus Williams
If you give me a short shot I will attack you. I'm not a baseliner who rallies. I try to get the point over with.
Venus Williams
If I cared deeply about what people thought of me, I probably would have never made it out of Compton, California.
Venus Williams
Nerves are normal. You can't be cured from them unless you're a machine.
Venus Williams
I have to say accounting almost killed me.
Venus Williams
We don't talk about tennis. I figure she knows what she's doing. I mean, what am I going to tell her?
Venus Williams
My parents always told us, you know, you have to get your education. You're not supposed to become a statistic.
