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.

More quotes by Venus Williams
I've always found the rain very calming.
Venus Williams
Sometimes, when there's a video montage. I'm thinking, 'That's my life. Oh, my God, I did that.' Yeah, it's amazing.
Venus Williams
I don't have time to be negative.
Venus Williams
I say accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. If you don't accessorize, someone else will.
Venus Williams
My style is kind of eclectic and I don't like to do the same thing over and over again. I like to have fun and explore myself so you won't see the same design.
Venus Williams
Everything is tennis for me, it's my career and it's entertainment, but it's also a business.
Venus Williams
To stay interested in tennis, I have to mix it up with other things.
Venus Williams
I know it's not the most important thing for me to win the most grand slams and be remembered in this world. I certainly don't have to win satellite tournaments here there and everywhere, I don't have to win at all. Although I do want to.
Venus Williams
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
Serena and I have done some great career planning, and we're playing really at the peak of our tennis right now. I think tennis has been a sport where people play this insane schedule from 14 years old, so of course at 26, it's over. We've really paced ourselves.
Venus Williams
My goal is always the same: to keep the other player from ever scoring a point. That doesn't always happen, but that's what I try for.
Venus Williams
A lot of people say, Oh, I get this high from working out. I've never felt that, maybe because I've worked out for so long it's just a norm for me to push super, super hard. I don't feel the euphoria. But at the end, when it's all done, I feel euphoric. I'm like, Yes, the work is done. You just feel like a glowing feeling inside.
Venus Williams
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
I am someone who likes to stay positive.
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
Nerves are normal. You can't be cured from them unless you're a machine.
Venus Williams
I think I can change the game.
Venus Williams
A lot of times when you play... you get this adrenalin that blocks pain.
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.
Venus Williams
I'm not a trend person. I don't want to look to my right and see somebody in the same thing.
