“I never played for money,” Williams said after host Sean Evans asked her whether or not that story was true. “I played ’cause I loved the sport … I don’t even know if I wanted to play to be the best, I wanted to win.”

“So my tax guy, he would be like, ‘You didn’t get your money?’ and I’d be like, ‘Oh, I didn’t get that one in Zurich,’ ‘Oh, I forget that one in Moscow,’ … I was just playing to win, and if I didn’t win, I wasn’t thinking. I was just so angry, that I wanted to find a way to get better and win the next time,” she continued.
