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.

When you step out on the court, I don't think anybody thinks about age. Because if you're out on this tour it means you deserve to be here. You've got the skill. It must mean you know how to play.
Venus Williams
If you're not a competitor, you've just got to go home.
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.

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.
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?

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
I guess tennis is my main art, but fashion is definitely very close.
