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.
Venus Williams
People ask me where I get my fighting qualities from, and I have to say Serena.

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.

The thing that's most important in getting you in the best mindest is just being prepared - having a great practice, and knowing that no matter what knowing you're going to go in with confidence. You need to have that confidence to power through.

The big push for me is the Olympics this year. If I'm healthy, I'm not worried about my ranking. I think I can hit the ball. It's just about my body cooperating. It's about being able to play matches in a row. Right now, I'm not sure how much I can do with that, but we'll see.
Venus Williams
I guess some kids around me had to grow up quickly, had all those problems. But I wasn't one of those kids, or around those kids, not at all.
Venus Williams
It's every Williams for themself.
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
I don't focus on what I'm up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.
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
Id like to imagine that in order to beat me a person would have to play almost perfect tennis.

To stay interested in tennis, I have to mix it up with other things.
