There's one thing I'm really good at, and that's hitting the ball over a net, in a box. I'm excellent.
I think my father is probably the best coach ever because, if we talk about numbers, he's got a lot and he's only had two players.
My dad is a marketing mastermind.
I've developed a karaoke habit. I've become a crooner.
Who says that your thirties is when you're supposed to be done? I would like to know who made that rule!
I'm proud to have opened [two] schools in Africa and one in Jamaica [through the Serena Williams Fund and its partners]. I was given a lot. I was given two parents. That's already starting above a lot of kids. And then I was given the opportunity to play tennis and parents who supported that. I feel I can give back.
I definitely have found a balance. I've had so many offers in the past to do different movies or different things and I always choose tournaments over it.
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 love hitting aces. It's not easy, but it makes your life a lot easier.
I don't want to be like some of those celebrities walking around, just so full of themselves. I always want to be down-to-earth, want to be a person like when you meet them, they're the same person that you think of them in the article or something.
You can't play well if you don't look good.
No one likes getting their nails done more than I do.
My goal in a couple of years is to try to build a successful fashion house like Armani or Versace. I want that more than anything.
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.
Everybody who plays me plays me so hard because they always want to beat me.
I feel as a brand I'm here to be around for a long time.
I was just tired of losing... Life was passing me by.
Tennis just a game, family is forever.
I don't want to age myself.
A lifetime with Venus Williams will not be enough.
I can't become satisfied, because if I get satisfied, I'll be like, "Oh, I've won Wimbledon, I've won the U.S. Open. Now can I relax." But now people are really going to be fighting to beat me.
I know a lot of people who are 12 and doing things they shouldnt be doing. Whether youre an actress or a singer, its always the sexier ones that are selling more tickets or selling more albums.
I'm always learning new things.
We all know who the real number one is. Quite frankly, I'm the best in the world.
I don't want to end my career and then start something. I like to do something while my career is still hot and I've always enjoyed designing.
