More quotes by Venus Williams
If I didn't play tennis I don't know where I'd be.
Venus Williams
If you're not a competitor, you've just got to go home.
Venus Williams
I remember watching the Olympics at home as a kid. It was one my Dad's dreams to win an Olympic medal.
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.
Venus Williams
I'm only seeing tennis balls these days. And maybe the occasional fashion sketch.
Venus Williams
Nerves are normal. You can't be cured from them unless you're a machine.
Venus Williams
The naysayers, they don't mean a thing.
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
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
Every Olympics is something special. If you're fortunate enough to play for your country - there's just so much energy. It's truly amazing.
Venus Williams
For years I felt that I didn't have enough stamina and then, four years ago, I felt like I was not getting enough air but I was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma. The medicine for asthma never worked.
Venus Williams
I truly believe that whoever feels the most confident is usually the one to win.
Venus Williams
I've always found the rain very calming.
Venus Williams
A win's a win, unless it is not a win, and then it's not a win.
Venus Williams
A lot of times when you play... you get this adrenalin that blocks pain.
Venus Williams
Sometimes, you know, once you pay your taxes and once you pay your expenses, once you've lived this life, things add up quickly. And it's easy to become a statistic. And that's something I've always tried to avoid, and I've always said, hey - not that it won't be me, that, hey, it could be me.
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
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
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
I love to be busy, and when I'm off the court, I do things I love.
