More quotes by Venus Williams
I just try to stay positive and focused on the tennis, not let anything get to me, like crazy questions. But I'm tough, let me tell you, tough as nails.
Venus Williams
Definitely sport matures you, if you let it. It definitely makes you grow up because you have to work so hard that if you can't, then you probably aren't going to have the mental capacity to handle it all. That probably played a role in growing up a little faster than maybe other people.
Venus Williams
If I didn't play tennis I don't know where I'd be.
Venus Williams
Unfortunately the world is what it is now. People don't get along for whatever reason. As professional athletes, in a way we're almost ambassadors for peace, because sports brings everyone together.
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
The thing about tennis is if you stay off for two weeks, or just for three days, you can lose your rhythm quickly. So it's just a question of constant diligence and vigilance.
Venus Williams
It's easy to stand back, but to move forward and take a chance, that takes a little more guts, a little more courage.
Venus Williams
As long as we're fit, we just have so much to give on the court.
Venus Williams
If you're not a competitor, you've just got to go home.
Venus Williams
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
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
Whoever is across the net, I want to win. Whoever that person is, that's the day I want to win.
Venus Williams
I'm always on the court with my dad.
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.
Venus Williams
I think business is the same as tennis. You have to have the love, that helps, or else it's just too much pressure to be able to keep up with.
Venus Williams
I think I can change the game.
Venus Williams
It's what I've trained for, from the first sketch to the fabric. Making dresses that are different from the usual style, and a lot of fun to wear.
Venus Williams
I feel amazing right now. I just feel like dancing.
Venus Williams
We're breaking records and we're moving forward. I always expected to win Grand Slams. This was meant to be.
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.
