I guess tennis is my main art, but fashion is definitely very close.

If I don't go to the gym for a week, I just get thinner and thinner.

No matter who you are, the grass is never greener on the other side.

To stay interested in tennis, I have to mix it up with other things.

I try to update as much as possible. You don't want to be in the past.

I wear a lot of tight dresses, so I'm like, 'I need to do my sit-ups!'

Some people say I have attitude - maybe I do...but I think you have to.

A lot of times when you play... you get this adrenalin that blocks pain.

Nerves are normal. You can't be cured from them unless you're a machine.

You can never get complacent because a loss is always around the corner.

Workout. Lead a balanced life and try to have fun. It's what you make it.

So what if you fail? At least you'll know what not to do when you try again.

I always eat a huge breakfast on match days even though my stomach hates it.

It's a great feeling to have accomplished what I have, but I want to do more.

People ask me where I get my fighting qualities from, and I have to say Serena.

I truly believe that whoever feels the most confident is usually the one to win.

Everybody's got their problems. The important thing is not to complain about it.

Tennis is mostly mental. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.

Sometimes women who are taller aren't comfortable with it, but I love being tall.

I'm only seeing tennis balls these days. And maybe the occasional fashion sketch.

Of course I want to look well and fit - and as an athlete, I want to look strong.

It's thrilling and it's an honor to be part of something bigger than your own self.

I spent my whole life playing sports and training and pushing myself to the limits.

One thing I've done is surround myself with people who are as good as me or better.

Ruth's Chris is my favorite restaurant, and I always order the rib eye, medium-rare.

Serena and I, we don't have anything to prove ... we still set a very high standard.

I don't even know what my favourite food is anymore, as they are all such bad foods!

I'm a collaborator. I know I don't know everything. I don't want to know everything.

A lot of times, I don't just do juice; I do the whole thing blended to keep the fiber.

I tend to be slim and you know, I actually can lose weight quicker than I can gain it.

I don't focus on what I'm up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.

I'm always in search for perfection. If it's not perfect, I'm back to the drawing board.

I say accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. If you don't accessorize, someone else will.

'Oh and Oh' is a tennis term... It's a nice way of saying you took your opponent to pieces.

I contribute my best in my sport and I also have a ton of respect for myself and my family.

I'm not a trend person. I don't want to look to my right and see somebody in the same thing.

I know I'm good at tennis. Other than that, everything else is a wild card. I'm a wild card.

It's a nice bonus but, you know, I have to pay taxes too. (after winning the Grand Slam Cup.

Of course, I want to be number one. But being happy and healthy is the most important thing.

It wasn't like I was self-motivated. My dad started me. It was his dream before it was mine.

Everything is tennis for me, it's my career and it's entertainment, but it's also a business.

I think if you have the opportunity to bully your opponent then you have to take that chance.

Growing up, I'd just be at home, playing tennis, spending my allowance on an ice-cream truck.

Id like to imagine that in order to beat me a person would have to play almost perfect tennis.

Just believe in yourself. Even if you don't, pretend that you do and, at some point, you will.

Whoever is across the net, I want to win. Whoever that person is, that's the day I want to win.

I'd like to imagine that in order to beat me a person would have to play almost perfect tennis.

After working so hard on the court, I find that snacks help me avoid late-afternoon energy lows.

The first rounds of a tournament are always tricky because playing tennis takes a lot out of you.

The message I like to convey to women and girls across the globe is that there is no glass ceiling.
