I remember watching the Olympics at home as a kid. It was one my Dad's dreams to win an Olympic medal.
I love to be busy, and when I'm off the court, I do things I love.
Sometimes, when there's a video montage. I'm thinking, 'That's my life. Oh, my God, I did that.' Yeah, it's amazing.
I know I'm good at tennis. Other than that, everything else is a wild card. I'm a wild card.
I guess rumors are more exciting than the truth.
Everyone makes their own comments. That's how rumors get started.
I always like to win. But I'm the big sister. I want to make sure she has everything, even if I don't have anything. It's hard. I love her too much. That's what counts.
As long as we're fit, we just have so much to give on the court.
We're breaking records and we're moving forward. I always expected to win Grand Slams. This was meant to be.
We're all conditioned that we shouldn't like our brothers and sisters, that we should be angry and fight. But that's abnormal. A lot of people think that the way Serena and I are with one another is weird. It's not.
We've been training and playing full-time since we were 18 and 19. So after tennis, we'll be excited to see what it's like to have more free time.
Serena and I, we don't have anything to prove ... we still set a very high standard.
I try to update as much as possible. You don't want to be in the past.
I will always be the older sister. That's never going to change.
