Serena Williams

I'm not afraid to speak up for what I believe in.

I'm just trying to leave a legacy.

I'm just trying to be the best me.

I'm not afraid to be different.

I'm not going to let anyone dim my sparkle.

I don't need to accept anything. I don't need to accept that I'm second best.

I've never been a person that has been like, 'I want to be a different color' or 'I want my skin to be lighter.' I like who I am, I love how I look.

I don't cheat to win. I'd rather lose.

I'm not sorry for anything I said. I stand by what I said.

Do women have to be naked to get into the Met Museum?

I don't know if I could have handled things better. I just don't know.

I'm not afraid of anyone. I never have been.

I don't need to prove anything to anyone. I just need to prove it to myself.

I've had people look down on me, put me down because I didn't look like them—because I didn't have the same skin color.

I'm not afraid to say I'm the greatest.
