To meet my goals, I couldn't let up when I was playing tennis.
I was too young to take it all in. I was too young to even realize I was young. I was just living my life.
If you bounce a tennis ball against a wall it will come back to you the same way every time. But if you shift the wall a few degrees it will come back another way.
Everybody is great and the chemistry is different with everyone. That is the joy of acting - you really don't know how it is going to go until you turn up. It's like playing tennis, you can't plan for the match you are going to play until you are actually up against your opponent and what happens, happens. That is the joy of being on set.
It's disappointing to have lost - that's the bee's knees of it.
I was thinking that if I hit his nuts, maybe he would serve like a woman.
I'm not Mr. Nice Guy, I'm a tough cookie
Tennis is interesting because the women are almost more popular than the men. In the U.S. Open, women even get exactly the same money as the men.
Tennis is a battle of the minds, just as much as it is a battle of playing ability. Trying to expose your opponent's weaknesses is one of the most vital and fascinating facets of tennis.
I like playing a bit of golf. But, if people went around beating people to death with golf clubs, I'd say, 'Ban golf. I'll take up tennis'
We're following the evolution of tennis. On the women's side, there has been a very positive change, with the arrival of many new stars.
I've heard that I'm 'the future of tennis.' But that's all just random stuff.
Good music just makes me happy and keeps me from getting distracted.
I train Monday through Saturday. I usually have fitness training for 90 minutes, then I'm on the tennis court for 3 to 4 hours.
I was annoyed and I was crying [her honest reaction to losing a tennis match at the US Open]
There are people who live, breathe and dress tennis.
Tennis is my job, but it's not my life.
We do more ready-to-wear and ath-leisure, things you would wear everyday. I never close my mind to anything and eventually want to branch out. But for now, tennis is still number one for me.

I was glad to watch the soccer because it helps my tennis game, realize maybe they're just rooting for the underdog.
Those who say that Serena isn't serious about tennis; she wants to go Hollywood. That's true, about Hollywood. I would love to get a lot of acting gigs. But you wouldn't believe the stuff I've turned down because of my tournament schedule...I would do well beside (comedian) Chris Tucker.
Sure, I've been on the Tube...I caught it to Eastbourne once.
I figure J-Lo does all these movies and all these videos and all this other stuff...I know I can play tennis and act and do photo shoots and model. I know I can do all that.
I love tennis more than designing because it's actually easier and I don't get nearly as nervous.
I never thought about leaving a tennis legacy. I always thought about leaving a legacy of fulfillment, living out your dreams, and giving back.
