A Quote by Venus Williams
The big push for me is the Olympics this year. If I'm healthy, I'm not worried about my ranking. I think I can hit the ball. It's just about my body cooperating. It's about being able to play matches in a row. Right now, I'm not sure how much I can do with that, but we'll see.

I love my body as it is. People in the industry have been telling me to lose weight for years but I like the way I look.

If you are worried about the mountain in the distance, you might trip over the molehill right in front of you. Win the day!
I think my children have presented one of the biggest lessons so far in my life.

I stopped worrying about how other people define me a little bit ago. I used to care a lot. Now I just don't care that much. Really, what I'm worried about is, am I being the best me I can be?

You become a parent, and your whole life becomes about worrying. You just worry constantly whether they'll be okay.

I'm not really worried about anybody or anything. I think I have a lot to offer. It's just, with your rookie year, your body, it's just a lot. It may seem foolish, all those dunks and stuff: they look cool, but it takes a toll on your body, for sure.
