When youre on top, youre on top.
The outfit is inspired by Alice in Wonderland. It's kind of about a surprise, because when Alice goes down the rabbit hole, she finds all these things that are so surprising. This outfit is about having a surprise in a tennis dress, and showing some skin and then just having a print. Prints don't happen that often in tennis. So it's called the Wonderland dress.
Anything which draws attention to me because I am so attractive.
'Oh and Oh' is a tennis term... It's a nice way of saying you took your opponent to pieces.
All those lessons that I've learned on the court, I have applied them to my life outside of the court in business, my company, called V Starr interiors, an interior design company, and EleVen, which I wear on court.
I remember watching the Olympics at home as a kid. It was one my Dad's dreams to win an Olympic medal.
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.
I'm only seeing tennis balls these days. And maybe the occasional fashion sketch.
I say accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. If you don't accessorize, someone else will.
People ask me where I get my fighting qualities from, and I have to say Serena.
If I don't wear something I feel confident in, I don't play as well.
Serena and I, we don't have anything to prove ... we still set a very high standard.
I think nowadays it's so easy as an athlete to become a statistic whether or not you lose everything or having trouble or whatever it may be.
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.
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.
I think if you have the opportunity to bully your opponent then you have to take that chance.
Most of us have grown up, you know, I think there are very few people who have grown up in a home that was, like, super normal. You know, we all have dispositions because maybe you didn't have a mom or you didn't have a dad, maybe your mom died early or maybe mom and dad argued or they got a divorce or who knows? You have issues that maybe you've started younger or maybe you have your own issues because you have them.
It's every Williams for themself.
I just try to stay positive and focused on the tennis, not let anything get to me, like crazy questions. But I'm tough, let me tell you, tough as nails.
We've been training and playing full-time since we were 18 and 19. So after tennis, we'll be excited to see what it's like to have more free time.
My style is kind of eclectic and I don't like to do the same thing over and over again. I like to have fun and explore myself so you won't see the same design.
I'm always on the court with my dad.
I can walk around fine, but I don't have a desk job.
I have to say accounting almost killed me.
