Serena on Online Body Shammers

  • On not letting body critics bring her down: "I've been like this my whole life and I embrace me . . . I don't have time to be brought down, I've got too many things to do. I have grand slams to win, I have people to inspire, and that's what I'm here for."
  • On body acceptance: "My arms might not look like the girl over there or my legs might not look like someone else or my butt or my body or my anything, if they [do] have a problem with it then I look them in the eye and say, 'if you don't like it, I don't want you to like it. I'm not asking you to like it.' I like it and I love me and there's other people that do look like me and they have to love them and I'm not going to sit around and harp on those people that feel so negatively."
