Serena Williams

My dad is the nicest guy you'll ever meet, and the easiest going.

I wanted to get really fit. I wanted to lose some weight. So I've been doing Pilates and yoga, trying to lean out my body so I won't be bulky.

I think a smile can make your whole body. Models, they look fabulous, but they don't smile, and they look so mad.

I'm really exciting. I smile a lot, I win a lot, and I'm really sexy.

I've thought it would be cool to have a baby young. You know, be my road dog - like my dogs, they travel the world - but there's always something you have to give up for success. Everything comes at a cost. Just what are you willing to pay for 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.

Luck has nothing to do with it, because I have spent many, many hours, countless hours, on the court working for my one moment in time, not knowing when it would come.

Tennis just a game, family is forever.

I'm thankful to my family, friends, and fans for all of their support.

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

I've had to learn to fight all my life - got to learn to keep smiling. If you smile things will work out.
