“You have to believe in yourself when no one else does.”

You can’t underestimate anyone.

My dad is the nicest guy you’ll ever meet, and the easiest going.

I really think a champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall.

It’s me, and I love me. I learned to love me. I’ve been like this my whole life, and I embrace me. I love how I look. I love that I’m a full woman and I’m strong and I’m powerful and I’m beautiful at the same time. There’s nothing wrong with that.

If I’m winning, I have to act like I’m not bored. If it’s A tough match, I have to act like I’m having A good time. I’m a drama queen.

If I have a daughter and she plays tennis, and I have a son who plays tennis, I wouldn’t say that my son deserves more money because he’s a man. I would say they deserve the same amount of money.

I’m a high-performance athlete: I’m running, I’m sprinting, I’m sliding, I’m doing pretty much everything and the last thing I want to worry about is my chest. I want to just worry about playing the sport at the highest level that I can.

There’s one thing I’m really good at, and that’s hitting the ball over a net, in a box. I’m excellent.

Family’s first, and that’s what matters most. We realize that our love goes deeper than the tennis game.

I think I can improve a lot. I think I can get a lot better. I feel like there’s much, much more I can do.

I’m an unbelievable designer.

I am not a robot. I have a heart and I bleed.

Legendary? I don’t know. I’m just Serena.

To this day, I don’t love my arms. People want more fit arms, but my arms are too fit. But I’m not complaining. They pay my bills.

I’m so frugal, you wouldn’t believe it.

Everyone in this room knows that Venus is probably one of the greatest people on the tour. She’s really great. She’s super professional. Complete opposite of me.

I also believe that everyone needs to think independently and make their own decisions on what makes the most sense.

Anarchy is the only slight glimmer of hope.

If anyone asks you for something that you believe would be injurious to him, refuse, but in such a manner as not to lose his good-will.

I want there to be a piece of me in my music, you know? I genuinely believe that’s the secret of all the success that’s happened (for me).

I believe that for the most part, achieving success – whatever that is for you – is mostly a matter of personal choice and that, initially, making the right choices can be difficult.

When I look at young kids today I just don’t believe it, parents take away the Gameboy and they’re suicidal. They cannot take the pressure.

The hardest part of living the dream is believing you are.

I believe that remorse is the least active of all a man’s moral senses.
