I decided I can't pay a person to rewind time, so I may as well get over it.

Honestly, I don't read the press. I don't know what they're saying.

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 never left my roots. You can identify me as someone that didn't become high and mighty. Humility is a defining [trait] all of us can forever learn, and I try to be as humble as anyone can be.

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 always say that when I'm playing well, no one can beat me. I'm not just saying that to sound full of myself or anything, but it's true.

I've always considered myself the best and the top. I never considered that I was out of it.
