More quotes by Venus Williams
My motto has always been that you can't say, 'Oh, it won't happen to me.' You have to say, 'That can happen to me.' So always be aware that things can happen.
Venus Williams
My motto is: I'm alive, so that means I can do anything.
Venus Williams
If I go down, it's never easy. At least my opponent knows they have to go to the end of the earth to take me out no matter what the circumstances. I do try to compete. Even if it's not your best day, I just try to walk off the court knowing I gave 100,000 percent.
Venus Williams
I just try to stay positive and focused on the tennis, not let anything get to me, like crazy questions. But I'm tough, let me tell you, tough as nails.
Venus Williams
I will always be the older sister. That's never going to change.
Venus Williams
I say accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. If you don't accessorize, someone else will.
Venus Williams
I know I'm good at tennis. Other than that, everything else is a wild card. I'm a wild card.
Venus Williams
I remember watching the Olympics at home as a kid. It was one my Dad's dreams to win an Olympic medal.

Tennis is mostly mental. Of course, you must have a lot of physical skill, but you can't play tennis well and not be a good thinker. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.
Venus Williams
It's every Williams for themself.
Venus Williams
Interior design is a business of trust.
Venus Williams
I think if you have the opportunity to bully your opponent then you have to take that chance.
Venus Williams
The thing is, it's not good anyway for eight-year-olds to be out there playing tennis tournaments so soon in their lives. But when I did get to play in a tournament, when I was nine, I was overjoyed.
Venus Williams
I guess it's a little bit sentimental, but at the time I was really very focused in on really my performance. Afterward, it was really just a breath of fresh air, just like, 'Oh, yes, I'm back now. I'm doing good.'
Venus Williams
As long as we're fit, we just have so much to give on the court.
Venus Williams
In my mind, I'm always the best. If I walk out on the court (and) I think the next person is better, I've already lost.
Venus Williams
I think business is the same as tennis. You have to have the love, that helps, or else it's just too much pressure to be able to keep up with.
Venus Williams
I think I've been fortunate to be at the top of the game and in the media for years, and a lot of times, people want to be your friend when you're on the top. You know, there have been times when I've been injured and I never got a phone call. So that's the way it is.
Venus Williams
It's what I've trained for, from the first sketch to the fabric. Making dresses that are different from the usual style, and a lot of fun to wear.
Venus Williams
It's thrilling and it's an honor to be part of something bigger than your own self.
