More quotes by Venus Williams
Everything is tennis for me, it's my career and it's entertainment, but it's also a business.
Venus Williams
Definitely sport matures you, if you let it. It definitely makes you grow up because you have to work so hard that if you can't, then you probably aren't going to have the mental capacity to handle it all. That probably played a role in growing up a little faster than maybe other people.
Venus Williams
Id like to imagine that in order to beat me a person would have to play almost perfect tennis.
Venus Williams
It wasn't like I was self-motivated. My dad started me. It was his dream before it was mine.
Venus Williams
I think nowadays it's so easy as an athlete to become a statistic whether or not you lose everything or having trouble or whatever it may be.
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.

So what if you fail? At least you'll know what not to do when you try again.

I think everyone deals with things in their own way. Everybody's different. My family are all different. None of us are the same. We all deal with different things in different ways. I think it's about knowing yourself, what pushes your buttons, and figuring out how to work with yourself.
Venus Williams
You learn so much from your parents. We grew up in a home where we were definitely taught to be confident. I definitely give me parents a lot of credit.
Venus Williams
I don't carry a purse when I fly because I have my Hello Kitty carry-on. I'm the biggest adult supporter.
Venus Williams
I don't want to give anyone an edge in my mind. Every time I walk out on the court, I have to feel I'm the best so I can compete well. A lot of times, my chief rival is just me.
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
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
I contribute my best in my sport and I also have a ton of respect for myself and my family.
Venus Williams
Workout. Lead a balanced life and try to have fun. It's what you make it.
Venus Williams
Winning once is never anyone's dream. We all want to keep winning no matter what it is, or if we retire, we all still are striving toward something, probably most of us are.
Venus Williams
Since I started playing at the Olympics in 2000, I have always wanted to do a dress based on Wonder Woman. It should be interesting to wear. And hopefully, it will get me a gold medal.
Venus Williams
Whoever is across the net, I want to win. Whoever that person is, that's the day I want to win.
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
Everybody's got their problems. The important thing is not to complain about it.
