Champions keep playing until they get it right.
A champion is afraid of losing. Everyone else is afraid of winning.
Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose-it teaches you about life.
I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.
Sports are a microcosm of society.
Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.
I have a lot to say, and if I'm not No. 1, I can't say it.
No one changes the world who isn't obsessed.
Be bold. If you're going to make an error, make a doozy, and don't be afraid to hit the ball.
Victory is fleeting. Losing is forever.
Everyone has people in their lives that are gay, lesbian or transgender or bisexual. They may not want to admit it, but I guarantee they know somebody.
I like entrepreneurial people; I like people who take risks.
It's just really important that we start celebrating our differences. Let's start tolerating first, but then we need to celebrate our differences.
In 1973, a woman could not get a credit card without her husband or father or a male signing off on it.
Ever since that day when I was 11 years old, and I wasn't allowed in a photo because I wasn't wearing a tennis skirt, I knew that I wanted to change the sport.
Women get the attention when we get into the men's arena, and that's sad.
I would love to be a player today. I had the right personality for it.
Men still get a lot more opportunity. It is still a big part of the old boy network. They have more companies they can get money from.
Women's sports is still in its infancy. The beginning of women's sports in the United States started in 1972, with the passage of Title 9 for girls to finally get athletic scholarships.
I wanted to use sports for social change.
