More quotes by Venus Williams
Id like to imagine that in order to beat me a person would have to play almost perfect tennis.
Venus Williams
Most definitely always been a passion, and always been one of my goals in life as a young person, to have my own business. My dad gave us his entrepreneurial mindset, so that was also ingrained, as well as the tennis. So in a lot of ways it's a part of making my parents proud. I think we all want to make our parents proud, you know?

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
Sjogren's is something you live with your whole life. The good news for me is now I know what's happening after spending years not knowing... I feel like I can get better and move on.
Venus Williams
It's amazing when tragedy strikes, how strong you find that you are, and I'd seen other people go through horrible things. And I just thought, Wow, I would be a complete mess, and then suddenly when it happens, you realize you had more strength than you knew and it helps you to get through.
Venus Williams
Just believe in yourself. Even if you don't, pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.
Venus Williams
Grand Slam losses are hard. I treat myself after losses though, I usually go to McDonald's and I have a hamburger and you know, something. Because you know, you just need to be nice to yourself sometimes after the loss.
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
People ask me where I get my fighting qualities from, and I have to say Serena.
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
I will always be the older sister. That's never going to change.
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
My first job is big sister and I take that very seriously.
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
I don't come to tournaments to make friends, to go to parties, to hold conversations. I come to be the best, and I'm not mean and cruel and dirty.
Venus Williams
We've been training and playing full-time since we were 18 and 19. So after tennis, we'll be excited to see what it's like to have more free time.
Venus Williams
Chiropractic gives me the flexibility I need to keep in the game.
Venus Williams
I have been recently diagnosed with Sjogren's Syndrome, an autoimmune disease which is an ongoing medical condition that affects my energy level and causes fatigue and joint pain.
Venus Williams
Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do...but I think you have to.
Venus Williams
There have been many frustrating games. I don't there's going to be another one that isn't frustrating. That happens, but that's sport. Otherwise why would there be so much glory in victory.
