1. I'm really exciting. I smile a lot, I win a lot, and I'm really sexy. 2. Because of my ankle injury I had to take some time off so my leg isn't as strong as it needs to be...So the pain in my knee is a result of that.
3. My smile is my favorite part of my body. I think a smile can make your whole body.
4. I've always been a beauty junkie. I've tried every product. I'm addicted to products. I can't go into the mall without buying everything. I said to my manager: "I should get a beauty deal, I'm going to go broke buying all these products".
6. I believe in my game, and I believe in me. At the end of the day, I'm my biggest fan. Well, maybe my dad. But other than that, you have to be your biggest fan. I'm working on trying to stay positive.
7. We don't have play time anymore because she's always on the computer…I'm like: "Are you serious? Why don't you come to the pool?"
8. I talked with Tom Hanks. I saw that movie "Turner and Hooch" at least 50 times. It took all my guts to go up to him. I went up to him, I was like: "Can I have a picture?" We talked acting; he wanted to know what I was doing. We talked a little tennis. I mean, he knew all about myself and my sister.9. In order to beat Venus, I'm going to have to be (better). I think my biggest test will be Venus.
10. Yeah, I have become aware of it. It's important for me as a young lady and a young individual to carry myself with aplomb and to walk with all kinds of confidence in this world around me. Because a lot of kids are feeding off of that. A lot of people look up to myself and my sister; and a lot of entertainers in our age group, a lot of kids are looking up to us. For me, I'm okay with that. I just feel that I should carry myself in a manner that they'd be able to copy themselves after.
12. For the younger sisters, we always look up to the older sisters because they're always ahead of us and they always win.
13. No one gets me more motivated than Venus because I don't want her to catch up with me yet. She's at five (Grand Slam tournament titles) now. I still have seven. So I got to keep ahead.
15. I had worn five carat diamond earrings at Wimbledon. But the earrings I had today were $40,000 earrings on loan and one fell out during the first set. New York and the U.S. Open are the biggest stages and I wanted to do something special. I love everything about the U.S. Open except the line calls.
17. I think you have to love yourself before you fall in love. I'm still learning to love myself.
18. It could come very soon. All I can do is play to get to the fourth round. Venus and I just have to get there. No one gets me more motivated than Venus. She won Wimbledon and has five majors. I still have seven titles. So I have to stay ahead of her.
20. If I step on a scale, I won't eat for five months.
21. Venus told me the other day that champions don't get nervous in tight situations. That really helped me a lot. I decided I shouldn't get nervous and just do the best I can.
23. I don't want to end my career and then start something, I like to do something while my career is still hot and I've always enjoyed designing. There's plenty of time after my tennis to definitely go full-time fashion, when I have arthritis and all that fun stuff.
25. I've always been a fighter and I've always fought through things my whole life.
26. It's always good to get a smaller tournament under your belt so that by the time you get to the Slams, you have a lot of experience.
28. My fitness is unbelievable right now. I don't get tired. I've been working ever since right after Charleston. Even before that, I decided to really work on my fitness.
30. Hopefully, we can build a rivalry and we'll be able to do this a lot. Make a legacy, then retire champions.
31. Well, we don't want to play in the war. We want to make clothes. We don't want the war.

45. How many people yell at linespeople? I see it happening all the time. I don't know how many times I have seen that happen.
46. The knee just isn't 100 percent. It's hard to be out there when you know that you can't play at your best and could potentially make it worse.
47. I've never dated anybody. It's good to get experience under your belt but you should never get wild or go crazy. If I can't see myself with this person for life - I can't be bothered. I can't waste my time. I have some really good men friends but I believe in no sex before marriage. No fornicating. Stuff like that. I really believe in that. I mean, I'm not perfect. It's hard to live by the Bible standards but I'm really comfortable with me.
49. I don't want to be like some of those celebrities walking around, just so full of themselves. I always want to be down-to-earth, want to be a person like when you meet them, they're the same person that you think of them in the article or something.
