More quotes by Venus Williams
"For years I felt that I didn't have enough stamina and then, four years ago, I felt like I was not getting enough air but I was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma. The medicine for asthma never worked."
"I don't focus on what I'm up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest."
"Just believe in yourself. Even if you don't, pretend that you do and, at some point, you will."
"In my mind, I'm always the best. If I walk out on the court (and) I think the next person is better, I've already lost."
"Losses have propelled me to even bigger places, so I understand the importance of losing. You can never get complacent because a loss is always around the corner. It's in any game that you're in - a business game or whatever - you can't get complacent."
