Everything is tennis for me, it's my career and it's entertainment, but it's also a business.
Venus Williams
Image
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.

Image
We're all conditioned that we shouldn't like our brothers and sisters, that we should be angry and fight. But that's abnormal. A lot of people think that the way Serena and I are with one another is weird. It's not.

When you lose, you're more motivated. When you win, you fail to see your mistakes and probably no one can tell you anything.

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.

I remember watching the Olympics at home as a kid. It was one my Dad's dreams to win an Olympic medal.
Venus Williams
Image
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
Image
I knew my destiny was to be in the winner's circle. There were times along the way where I didn't make it there. But I felt my destiny was definitely to win big titles, win lots of titles.
Venus Williams
Image
My parents always told us, you know, you have to get your education. You're not supposed to become a statistic.

Image
I'm only seeing tennis balls these days. And maybe the occasional fashion sketch.
Venus Williams
Image
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
Image
Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do... but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there.
Venus Williams
Image
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
Image
In the sports arena I would say there is nothing like training and preparation. You have to train your mind as much as your body.

I say accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. If you don't accessorize, someone else will.
