Legendary? I don't know. I'm just Serena.

What matters isn't how well you play when you're playing well. What matters is how well you play when you're playing badly.

Once you start believing in yourself, anything is possible.

The better I get, the more I realize how much better I can get.

Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you're needed by someone.

The mark of great sportsmen is not how good they are at their best, but how good they are their worst.

Labels are for filing. Labels are for clothing. Labels are not for people.

Whoever said, 'It's not whether you win or lose that counts,' probably lost.

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

Luck has nothing to do with it.

You can't underestimate anyone.

I think I can improve a lot. I think I can get a lot better. I feel like there's much, much more I can do.

Someone like Billie Jean King is completely my idol.

I always say if I play my best it's difficult to beat me

I've had to learn to fight all my life - got to learn to keep smiling. If you smile things will work out.

I don't go thinking I'm going to lose. I never go into a tournament thinking that. I'll do the best that I can.

I went on the courts with just a ball and a racket and a hope...and that's all I had.

I just hate to lose. When I am on the court, it is like my life depends on it.

If I'm winning, I have to act like I'm not bored. If it's A tough match, I have to act like I'm having A good time. I'm a drama queen.
