To be a well-rounded person and know what's going on in the world around you, to have a perspective outside of your sport, is important for every athlete. I'm blessed that our parents gave us that.

More quotes by 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
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
Just always believe in yourself. Champions adjust. It's a line I learned from Billie Jean King, and sometimes your dream adjusts. Be willing to adjust with it and see where your opportunities ... sometimes a door closes but a window opens, so just follow your dreams and continue. You never know where it's going to take you.
Venus Williams
I can walk around fine, but I don't have a desk job.

A win's a win, unless it is not a win, and then it's not a win.

It's easy to stand back, but to move forward and take a chance, that takes a little more guts, a little more courage.

I'm only seeing tennis balls these days. And maybe the occasional fashion sketch.

The big push for me is the Olympics this year. If I'm healthy, I'm not worried about my ranking. I think I can hit the ball. It's just about my body cooperating. It's about being able to play matches in a row. Right now, I'm not sure how much I can do with that, but we'll see.
Venus Williams
I don't have time to be negative.
Venus Williams
I think I can change the game.
Venus Williams
I think everyone deals with things in their own way. Everybody's different. My family are all different. None of us are the same. We all deal with different things in different ways. I think it's about knowing yourself, what pushes your buttons, and figuring out how to work with yourself.
Venus Williams
Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do...but I think you have to.
Venus Williams
I say accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. If you don't accessorize, someone else will.
Venus Williams
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
Workout. Lead a balanced life and try to have fun. It's what you make it.
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
It is very important not to think about losing.
Venus Williams
As far as everyone else's opinion, I mean, if I would have thought that everyone was right, I probably wouldn't have left Compton, so I don't get too caught up on what the next person thinks.
