I love going to movies.

I love my dogs.

I feel like I'm really young and I'm only thinking about my career and continuing playing.

I'm definitely not a fearless individual.

I think it's bad when people start booing between serves.

It's always good to get a smaller tournament under your belt so that by the time you get to the Slams, you have a lot of experience.

The knee just isn't 100 percent. It's hard to be out there when you know that you can't play at your best and could potentially make it worse.

How many people yell at linespeople? I see it happening all the time. I don't know how many times I have seen that happen.

I'm thankful to my family, friends, and fans for all of their support.

I love going shopping.

I want to be a giving woman and just a nice person in general.

Once I serve well, my whole game goes up.

I love tennis more than designing because it's actually easier and I don't get nearly as nervous.

I always say that when I'm playing well, no one can beat me. I'm not just saying that to sound full of myself or anything, but it's true.

I was just tired of losing... Life was passing me by.

People want more fit arms, but my arms are too fit. But I'm not complaining. They pay my bills.

My mom taught me how to sew when I was 2 or 3, so I've been sewing for as long as I can remember.

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 think a smile can make your whole body. Models, they look fabulous, but they don't smile, and they look so mad.

What's going to make me happy is going on the court and holding up trophies, singles and doubles.

I've always enjoyed acting. When we were younger, my sisters and I would put on plays for our parents.

I'm Serena Williams on the court, but away I have so many different names. I call myself Butterfly.

When I was younger, I was always obsessed with nails.

I'm a real extrovert, but when I'm round someone new, I'm super shy.

I've always been a fighter and I've always fought through things my whole life.

I'm totally human.

Tennis is my job, but it's not my life.

I've always considered myself the best and the top. I never considered that I was out of it.

Someone like Billie Jean King is completely my idol.

Hopefully, we can build a rivalry and we'll be able to do this a lot. Make a legacy, then retire champions.

If you can keep playing tennis when somebody is shooting a gun down the street, that's concentration.

You can be whatever size you are, and you can be beautiful both inside and out. We're always told what's beautiful and what's not, and that's not right.

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

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

All my life I'd woken up to tennis, tennis, tennis. Even if I don't go to practise, I'm thinking about it all day.

Tennis just a game, family is forever.

Since I don't look like every other girl, it takes a while to be okay with that. To be different. But different is good.

I'm a perfectionist. I'm pretty much insatiable. I feel there's so many things I can improve on.

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

I love who I am, and I encourage other people to love and embrace who they are. But it definitely wasn't easy - it took me a while.

Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.

No one likes getting their nails done more than I do.

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

I'm not used to crying. It's a little difficult. All my life I've had to fight. It's just another fight I'm going to have to learn how to win, that's all. I'm just going to have to keep smiling.

I'm an athlete and I'm black, and a lot of black athletes go broke. I do not want to become a statistic, so maybe I overcompensate. But I'm paranoid. Oprah told me a long time ago, 'You sign every check. Never let anyone sign any checks.'

The only problem is time.

You gotta keep the funny intact.

What makes me happy is just keeping my brain challenged and stimulated and on its toes.

If something is shocking without being funny it's hard to justify.

If something sticks around long enough that it makes it to seasonal D.V.D. release, I'll watch it. That's how I watched 'The Sopranos'.
