Serena Williams

I'm not afraid to speak my mind.

I'm a work in progress. I'm always learning and growing.

I'm not going to let anything stop me.

I'm not a victim. I'm a victor.

I'm just trying to leave my mark on the world.

I'm so weird, I don't even like chocolate.

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 don't like to lose - at anything - yet I've grown most not from victories, but setbacks.

I'm crazy. I'm nuts. I just never really think anything's wrong with me.

I'm really awkward. I'm not smooth. I don't know how to talk to people. I'm just awkward Serena.

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

I'm not a feminist. I don't really think about it. I'm a woman who wants the best for herself.

I love dogs. I have a bulldog named Jackie. He's a little crazy, like me.

I'm a perfectionist. I'm my own worst critic. If I don't do something right, I'm just like, 'Ugh, I'm so mad at myself.'

I just want to be famous for my tennis. I don't want to be famous for anything else. I don't want to be famous for being a celebrity.

I'm not a robot. I'm a human being. I have emotions. I have feelings.

I don't like to lose. I hate to lose. I'm a sore loser.

I've been through so much in my life, and I've overcome so many obstacles. I'm a survivor.

I always believe I can do better. I always believe I can be better.

I'm not afraid to be myself. I'm not afraid to speak my mind.
