Don't go into debt and don't spend a lot. It's not how much money you make, it's how much you spend.

Sports are a microcosm of society. It just shows how much more competition there is in the world.

Billie Jean King 155 quotes

I think one of the concerns, ...

I think one of the concerns, anytime you're in the human business, like sports, it's a very high - risk endeavor. You do have to get players every year. You have to deal with calendar. You have to deal with all kinds of things in our sport, like every sport does.

Billie Jean King 155 quotes

When I was playing, we didn't...

When I was playing, we didn't have to compete against everybody in the world. Now it's a truly global sport, so the competition's much greater, just like it is for our children in every other area, whether it be in science or technology or whatever you talk about.

Billie Jean King 155 quotes

It's about learning your craf...

It's about learning your craft. That's a wonderful thing--especially with today's consumerism and instant gratification. You can'tbuy that. It's about making decisions, corrections, choices. I don't think it's so much about becoming a tennis player. It's about becoming a person.

Billie Jean King 155 quotes

I always respect right off the bat because we are human, but then over time you learn who the person truly is, just like they learn about you. Hope it works out really well, and you hope that builds a stronger connection over time. You can't be friends with everybody.

Marriage isn't a 50-50 proposition very often. It's more like 100-0 one moment and 0-100 the next.

Billie Jean King 155 quotes

Ladies, here's a hint. If you...

Ladies, here's a hint. If you're up against a girl with big boobs, bring her to the net and make her hit backhand volleys. That's the hardest shot for the well-endowed.

Billie Jean King 155 quotes

No matter how tough, no matte...

No matter how tough, no matter what kind of outside pressure, no matter how many bad breaks along the way, I must keep my sights on the final goal, to win, win, win-and with more love and passion than the world has ever witnessed in any performance.

I think it's really important to have portion control. I don't believe in losing weight quickly.

Billie Jean King 155 quotes

I hate being called a homosexual because I don't feel that way. It really upsets me ... Being gay can happen in any walk of life, in any world. If you have one gay experience, does that mean you're gay? If you have one heterosexual experience, does that mean you're straight? Life doesn't work quite so cut and dried.

It's important to try to get people to think about women's wellness.

I think if you're put on a team as a child, like you are in soccer and other sports, I think the children are going to stay in the sport and have more fun if they're on a team. They want to play with their friends and have fun.

Billie Jean King 155 quotes

I got to see the best players in the world every year the week after the U.S. Nationals, which is now known as the US Open, in Los Angeles. That made a huge difference in my life.

In business, everything starts with integrity. Otherwise it falls apart, though it does take time to find out who has integrity.

Men still get a lot more opportunity. It is still a big part of the old boy network... They have more companies they can get money from.

Billie Jean King 155 quotes

The trouble with being number...

The trouble with being number one in the world - in anything- is that it takes a certain mentality to attain that position, and that is something of a driving, perfectionist attitude, so that once you do achieve number one, you don't relax and enjoy it.
