You just have to prove to yourself that you can go out there and be the best that you can be and not prove anything to anyone.

Nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream.

I was glad to watch the soccer because it helps my tennis game, realize maybe they're just rooting for the underdog.

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 am here to play women's tennis. I'm a lady. Predominantly, most of the time I always like to play ladies.

It's so great to have that opportunity with so many young American players coming up now. It's just so exciting. We have to root for the home country.

There's always another record, then there's always another person to catch up with or to pass.
