Serena Williams

Everyone's dream can come true if you just stick to it and work hard.

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

If anything, you know, I think losing makes me even more motivated.

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

My smile is my favorite part of my body. I think a smile can make your whole body. I want women to know that it's ok. That you can be whatever size you are and be beautiful inside and out.

Growing up I wasn't the richest, but I had a rich family in spirit. Standing here with 19 championships is something I never thought would happen. I went on a court just with a ball and a racket and with a hope.

I'm definitely not at my best. Honestly, I'm under 50 percent. But I've won stuff under 50 percent before.

I went on the courts with just a ball and a racket and a hope...and that's all I had.

Honestly, I could get in a car accident today and never play tennis again, and then I wouldn't have anything to fall back on. But fortunately enough, I do.

Couple years ago I was No. 7 and I ended up top. So I kind of like the position that I'm at right now. It's hot.
