Serena Williams

I've never been over-dramatic in my whole career.

We're going in really fresh. We're going to have fresh legs and bodies, we're going to be able to stay the distance, and that's our goal.

People see me on the court only as a superhero, grunting and winning. They think you're a robot, and I'm not.

I want to knock on people's doors and preach. But I also meet a lot of people on planes and in restaurants, and you can preach with them or place some literature with them.

I'm so frugal, you wouldn't believe it.

I definitely have found a balance. I've had so many offers in the past to do different movies or different things and I always choose tournaments over it.

Since I don't look like every other girl, it takes a while to be okay with that. To be different. But different is good.

I'm Serena Williams on the court, but away I have so many different names. I call myself Butterfly.

My mom taught me how to sew when I was 2 or 3, so I've been sewing for as long as I can remember.

What's going to make me happy is going on the court and holding up trophies, singles and doubles.

I'm really super feminine, and I'm really soft. I'm very sensitive, I realized.

I hate losing.
