Serena Williams Athlete Quotations

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.

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.'

My game has matured, and mentally, I've just matured to another level. That is a major factor in it. Some people mature really late.

I'm a high-performance athlete: I'm running, I'm sprinting, I'm sliding, I'm doing pretty much everything and the last thing I want to worry about is my chest. I want to just worry about playing the sport at the highest level that I can.

I'm an actress, model and athlete, and I'd put athlete third on the list.

The guy is the greatest male athletes of all time.

I have started to realize that I am really just a world athlete and a world entertainer -- I am a world-known person, I am a global icon.
