“I wish I could play like Roger Federer.”

I don’t know if I’ve had my share of drama, but I’ve definitely had my share of hard times.

I’m really exciting. I smile a lot, I win a lot, and I’m really sexy.

If you smile things will work out.

Am I the greatest? I don’t know. I’m the greatest that I can be.

If anything, you know, I think losing makes me even more motivated.

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

I don’t have anything to prove ever, ever in my life. If I have something to prove, what does that mean for everyone else? And I think everyone should have that attitude.

I’m not one to blame anyone else for anything. And I don’t think anyone else should either.

Victory is very, very sweet. It tastes better than any dessert you’ve ever had.

I don’t go thinking I’m going to lose. I never go into a tournament thinking that. I’ll do the best that I can.

I think in life you should work on yourself until the day you die.

Everyone’s dream can come true if you just stick to it and work hard.

I wanted to get really fit. I wanted to lose some weight. So I’ve been doing Pilates and yoga, trying to lean out my body so I won’t be bulky.

I’ve had to learn to fight all my life – got to learn to keep smiling. If you smile things will work out.

I think you have to love yourself before you fall in love. I’m still learning to love myself.

Growing up I wasn’t the richest, but I had a rich family in spirit. Standing here with 19 championships is something I never thought would happen. I went on a court just with a ball and a racket and with a hope.

You’re still my idol.

There is no bigger fight than Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.

I idolize my kid sister, so I get it. I understand why other people do too.

When I structured my career, I looked at Muhammad Ali, which is my all-time favorite and an idol of mine, and what he has done for this sport. He was a real-life hero.

My only idol is God, and I kick myself when I don’t pray regularly enough.

Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just. Such a God is an idol of your own.

I appreciate that young girls look up to me. And I take that very seriously.

The best thing Jay-Z ever taught me was patience.
