More quotes by Venus Williams

If I go down, it's never easy. At least my opponent knows they have to go to the end of the earth to take me out no matter what the circumstances. I do try to compete. Even if it's not your best day, I just try to walk off the court knowing I gave 100,000 percent.

Venus Williams
I don't have time to be negative.
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
So what if you fail? At least you'll know what not to do when you try again.
Venus Williams
Tennis is a huge part of my life, but I don't base my self-value or my self-worth or the quality of my life on my results on the court.
Venus Williams
I'm not a trend person. I don't want to look to my right and see somebody in the same thing.
Venus Williams
If I didn't play tennis I don't know where I'd be.
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.

My dresses are designed to win, so going through it, I think about, what do I want to represent? So, definitely, Vera Wang has been an inspiration for me.
