Those who say that Serena isn't serious about tennis; she wants to go Hollywood. That's true, about Hollywood. I would love to get a lot of acting gigs. But you wouldn't believe the stuff I've turned down because of my tournament schedule...I would do well beside (comedian) Chris Tucker.

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.

I'm a perfectionist. I'm pretty much insatiable. I feel there's so many things I can improve on.

Who says that your thirties is when you're supposed to be done? I would like to know who made that rule!

Will I have to explain to my daughter that her brother is gonna make more money doing the exact same job because he's a man? If they both played sports since they were three years old, they both worked just as hard, but because he's a boy, they're gonna give him more money? Like, how am I gonna explain that to her? In tennis we've had great pioneers that paved the way - including Venus [Williams], who fought so hard for Wimbledon to pay women the same prize money they pay men, and Billie Jean King, who is one of the main reasons Title IX exists.

I think you have to love yourself before you fall in love. I'm still learning to love myself.

I think in life you should work on yourself until the day you die.
