More quotes by Venus Williams
A lot of people say, Oh, I get this high from working out. I've never felt that, maybe because I've worked out for so long it's just a norm for me to push super, super hard. I don't feel the euphoria. But at the end, when it's all done, I feel euphoric. I'm like, Yes, the work is done. You just feel like a glowing feeling inside.

It wasn't like I was self-motivated. My dad started me. It was his dream before it was mine.

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.

I don't want to give anyone an edge in my mind. Every time I walk out on the court, I have to feel I'm the best so I can compete well. A lot of times, my chief rival is just me.

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.

Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do... but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does - that makes you a winner right there.
Venus Williams
To stay interested in tennis, I have to mix it up with other things.
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.

Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do...but I think you have to.

Whoever is across the net, I want to win. Whoever that person is, that's the day I want to win.

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.

I will always be the older sister. That's never going to change.
Venus Williams
A lot of times when you play... you get this adrenalin that blocks pain.

Id like to imagine that in order to beat me a person would have to play almost perfect tennis.

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.

I'm always on the court with my dad.

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.
