Quote

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.

The thing that's most important in getting you in the best mindest is just being prepared - having a great practice, and knowing that no matter what knowing you're going to go in with confidence. You need to have that confidence to power through.

In my mind, I'm always the best. If I walk out on the court (and) I think the next person is better, I've already lost.

My first job is big sister and I take that very seriously.

People ask me where I get my fighting qualities from, and I have to say Serena.
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.

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.

'Oh and Oh' is a tennis term... It's a nice way of saying you took your opponent to pieces.

Tennis is mostly mental. Of course, you must have a lot of physical skill, but you can't play tennis well and not be a good thinker. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.

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.

I don't focus on what I'm up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.

I think I can change the game.

I'm not a trend person. I don't want to look to my right and see somebody in the same thing.

There is nothing like playing at Wimbledon you can feel the footprints of the legends of the game-men and women-that have graced those courts.

Nerves are normal. You can't be cured from them unless you're a machine.

The most fun part about working out is being done - getting through the workout, let's be honest. But that feeling afterward? Yeah, that's worth it.

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.

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

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.

My motto is: I'm alive, so that means I can do anything.
