Serena Williams

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

“I'm super-curvy.”

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

“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.”

“I love going to movies.”

“We're going in really fresh. We're going to have fresh legs and bodies, we're going to be able to stay the distance, and that's our goal.”

“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.”

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

“Someone like Billie Jean King is completely my idol.”

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

“I've thought it would be cool to have a baby young. You know, be my road dog - like my dogs, they travel the world - but there's always something you have to give up for success. Everything comes at a cost. Just what are you willing to pay for it?”

“I've developed a karaoke habit. I've become a crooner.”

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

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

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

“People see me on the court only as a superhero, grunting and winning. They think you're a robot, and I'm not.”

“I'm totally human.”
